AI agents that verify employment by phone, email & fax

Every time someone gets hired, applies for a mortgage, or leases an apartment, someone has to confirm they actually worked where they said they did. That means millions of calls, emails, faxes (yes, in 2026), to HR and payroll departments. Superunit's AI agents do all of that from start to finish. They research, call, email, fax and handle documents until the verification is done.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Peter, co-founder of Superunit.
Every time someone gets hired, applies for a mortgage, or signs a lease, somebody has to confirm they actually worked where they said they did. In practice that's millions of phone calls a year to HR and payroll — leaving voicemails, sending emails, sending faxes (yes, in 2026), waiting days for a callback, getting transferred, leaving another voicemail.
Background screeners, lenders, and property managers hire whole teams to do this. It's tedious, expensive, and turnover is brutal because the work is mind-numbing.
Tbh we didn't set out to fix this. We went through YC's S24 batch working on something else entirely (in the accounting space), and at Demo Day it landed with a thud, which sucked. By the end of the year we made the call to rip it all out and start over.
The restart came from a chance conversation: a product leader at Checkr told us employment verifications were "soul-crushing." We got curious, started building in January 2025, and haven't looked back.
So we built Ava (not the most original agent name, I know…), an AI agent that runs employment verifications end to end. She does the contact research, calls HR and payroll, navigates phone trees, sends the emails and faxes, handles compliance, and publishes a clean, auditable result back to your system.
In the past year we've made 1.5M calls and emails to complete 200k verifications across 17 countries for 50+ customers, including some of the largest background screeners and lenders in the US. 70% completed, most back in under a day.
Building this also gave us a look at the verification layer almost nobody gets to see, so we're publishing some of it today in our State of Employment Verification 2026 report. One finding that surprised even us: when a verification routes through a named third-party platform, ~73% of the time it's a single company. More in the report → superunit.com/launch
Happy to answer anything, how Ava handles a live call, the compliance side, the international data, whatever you're curious about. Ask away, excited to be here. 🙏
Peter, the fax detail is the part nobody outside these workflows believes. Healthcare runs the same rails, and the queue shaped exactly like yours is insurance benefit and eligibility verification, which sits directly on whether a practice gets paid.
What changes there is the content of the call. The moment your agent says a patient name to a payer, the recording, the transcript and the auditable result are all regulated records, and whoever holds them needs a signed agreement before a compliance team approves the pilot. That requirement stops this kind of automation more often than the phone tree does.
Have you pointed Ava at payer calls yet, and could a customer have the recording and transcript dropped so only the result survives?
Congrats on your launch! Do receivers of the call like HR or employers get cautious cause its an AI Agent on the phone and don't want to confirm sensitive information?
