How Kavaliro is Setting a New Standard for Talent Verification
August 26, 2025
We're excited to announce our partnership with Kavaliro, a leader in technical, professional, and workforce solutions. Based in Orlando, Kavaliro represents exactly the kind of forward-thinking technology solutions firm that's shaping the future of our industry.
The Evolution of a Partnership
When first spoke with Kavaliro’s leadership team, they had a clear vision: move beyond the cat-and-mouse game of candidate fraud detection and instead create a process that empowers both candidates and clients. They recognized that improved candidate screening wasn't just about catching deception, it was about building trust.
As their team explained recently, they want their recruiters to "focus on building relationships and guiding candidates through the process, rather than manually filtering applications." This human-centered approach to workforce solutions aligned perfectly with our mission.
Beyond Fraud Prevention: Creating Competitive Advantage
While many workforce solutions firms come to us seeking fraud prevention, Kavaliro saw a bigger opportunity. They understood that in today's market, where 41% of enterprise buyers struggle with candidate validation, the ability to provide verified, authentic talent isn't just risk mitigation – it's a sales differentiator.
By integrating our platform into their sales and delivery workflows, Kavaliro now offers their clients something unprecedented:
- Custom simulations tailored to each client's specific job (both perm and contract) needs
- Predictive analytics that forecast candidate success before the first interview
- Concrete evidence of skills and capabilities, not just conversational abilities
- Faster placements with higher confidence levels
Unlocking New Business Opportunities
What's particularly exciting is how Kavaliro is leveraging Ropes as a business development tool. Their sales team now walks into client meetings with a unique value proposition: "We don't just promise great talent, we prove that they’re great."
This approach is opening doors:
- Exclusive reqs from clients who previously worked with 5+ vendors
- New account penetration using "Let us show you what your candidate actually built" as a conversation starter
- Expanded relationships with existing clients now unlocking entire teams and strategic projects instead of individual roles
A Model for the Industry
The Kavaliro partnership represents more than a single success story. It's a blueprint for how workforce solutions firms can thrive in the AI era. Instead of viewing technology as a threat or a necessary evil, Kavaliro embraces it as an opportunity to deliver unprecedented value.
Their approach demonstrates four critical principles that we live by:
- Fight AI with AI: Don't rely on outdated methods to combat modern deception
- Turn verification into value: Make authentication a selling point, not a checkpoint
- Empower recruiters: Use technology to enhance human relationships, not replace them
- Show, don’t tell: Allow candidates to show their hands-on skills vs. having them speak about their experience or answer conceptual puzzles and multiple choice questions
Looking Ahead
As we continue to develop our platform, partnerships like the one with Kavaliro guide our innovation. Their feedback, their use cases, and their success stories help us build better solutions for the entire workforce solutions ecosystem.
For Kavaliro's clients across the US, this partnership means access to verified talent at unprecedented speed. For the workforce solutions industry, it's proof that innovation and integrity can go hand in hand.
We're proud to partner with Kavaliro as they lead the charge toward a more transparent, efficient, and trustworthy future for workforce solutions.
