To kick off our Innovation Through Partnership vendor spotlight series, TazWorksDirector of Product Management Jake Shapiro welcomed Cerebrum Founder and CEO Sebastian Mellen to discuss how Cerebrum works within TazWorks technology to enhance middle-market consumer reporting agencies’ (CRA) experiences through efficient identity verification solutions and AI-driven automation. 

AI’s Growing Role in Background Screening  

AI solutions are continuing to advance and gain more footing in the background screening industry. With these innovations come huge opportunities for CRAs to speed up background check processing times and make quicker decisions without sacrificing accuracy.  

From criminal record processing to data filtering and more, AI can be trained to handle these tasks to reduce staff strain. This empowers staff to focus more attention on cases that require additional eyes, as well as focus on the clients in need of individualized support.  

But beyond that, these efficiency gains also translate to continuous scalability. Imagine no longer stressing over busier seasons or finally making strides in business growth. That’s all possible thanks to the higher processing volumes AI can empower, especially when the volume distribution has spikes. 

TazWorks + Cerebrum’s Solutions  

The integration of these two technologies elevates your background screening processes by combining speed, precision, and scalability, while providing powerful tools to optimize every step of your workflow: 

  • vID: Cerebrum’s biometric identity verification solution securely extracts sensitive data to protect against fraud, a critical safeguard amid the rise of synthetic identities and deepfakes. Using automated document capture and authentication, vID ensures that all key documents are accurate, verifiable, and compliant with industry standards. 
  • Synapse AI (TazWorks integration coming soon): Cerebrum’s AI-driven data analysis solution leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to deliver highly precise results. It filters out irrelevant data—like minor criminal offenses that don’t impact outcomes—so your staff can focus on what truly matters. This allows CRAs to make faster, more informed decisions while reducing operational strain.
