The deal for an undisclosed fee, sealed in the beginning August marks a new chapter in Zasiekina’s career as she leaves the CEO position at FYST. Following a continuous investor interest in a swiftly growing payment consultancy firm, operating in a market projected to reach an impressive $250 trillion by 2027, the sale also doesn’t come as a surprise.

A qualified engineer, Ryta Zasiekina spent around a decade in payments and banking industry consulting. As an independent entrepreneur and business advisor Ryta specializes in general e-commerce and FinTech business consulting, payment processing, alternative payment methods, risk management and anti-fraud.

Originally from Ukraine, she has gained a market reputation as a dynamic decision-maker and a skilled negotiator, widely regarded in the industry thanks to the multitude of international connections.

Ryta Zasiekina

In 2021 Ryta obtained her MBA degree themed around AI and cybersecurity in fraud fighting. Soon after she had to leave her homeland due to the war and settled in Riga, Latvia, where she started FYST. The project launch appeared to be timed perfectly since the major pandemic shift in consumer habits led to a double digit growth in ecommerce across the globe. 

According to Kantar, the share of consumers that do 50% or more of their total number of purchases online has increased dramatically in all three of Europe’s biggest e-commerce markets. Six out of ten consumers say that they will continue to buy as much online as they do today after the pandemic has passed. This subsequently led to increase of the competition among the market players. 

Born from a desire to help merchants across all sectors of ecommerce make quantifiable impacts in the online space FYST has quickly emerged as one of the key industry players. A one-stop cross-border payments and banking consultancy assisted merchants by offering a one-of-a-kind combination of flexible digital payments solutions, banking connections and technology guidance, regulatory compliance and AML advisory services from its young and skilled team.

With its revenue-centric ethos, FYST is focused on taking the complexity out of cross-border payments. They assist e-commerce businesses in liaising with smart acquiring and processing services, managing relationships with international payment schemes, and navigating an abundance of global banking relationships to ensure fast, flexible, and cost-effective cross-border payments.

FYST brings together leading payment and fintech innovators under one brand to help businesses in all sectors navigate the fast-growing cross-border e-commerce market, combining unparalleled technical ingenuity, in-depth tailored advice to help fledgling businesses scale up successfully, and easy access to more than 70 global payment methods.

Commenting on her decision Ryta Zasiekina concluded: 

“The past 12 months at FYST will certainly remain along the proudest moments of my career. FYST was very successful in helping businesses unlock new opportunities in the fast-evolving e-commerce space. And we have assembled a diverse team of industry innovators and great individuals who understand the importance of payments and who are at the heart of business growth. I’m very grateful to each and everyone of them for helping me along the way.“

Screening applications and verifying statements on resumes manually is a thing of the past. Background check technology has evolved to improve process efficiency, save HR departments time, and lower the associated costs for companies. Technology has made background checks much less labour-intensive than they used to be. Here are some ways technology has evolved, perfecting the services offered by background check companies such as check people.

Check Employees Background

Intelligent Tracking Systems

Recruiters and hiring managers are making the most of technological developments, which help reduce bias and ease the resume review process. Automated Tracking Systems are powered by artificial intelligence (AI), which helps hiring managers to become more efficient in analyzing candidate pools. Such systems help to narrow candidates down when hiring remotely, which is becoming increasingly common. In addition, AI helps to expand the applicant base on a global scale.  

Considering that most job applications are submitted online today, recruiters and HR professionals should upgrade to effective tracking systems. ATS helps them to filter candidates more efficiently and choose the best one for the job. This saves them a lot of time and lets them shift their focus to personal contact during the interview. When a hiring manager can focus on building a connection with qualified applicants, the hiring process goes much more smoothly.

Easy and Quick Verification

Businesses can use technology for fast and easy screening and verifying any information provided. As part of this process, you can send a screening request to the platform about a new candidate or employee. Their employment record is retrieved. As a result, your HR employees can spend the time saved on more pressing tasks.

Large enterprises have hundreds of job applications to screen in a very limited time. Fortunately, technology has reduced background check turnaround time to less than one business day.

Accurate and More Reliable Results

As an employer, when you run a manual background check, you tend to lose lots of information. You can overlook many details about a person while performing a criminal record or reference check using rudimentary technology. 

Moreover, automated results are more accurate and of higher quality. For example, when the candidate fills out a form on your company’s site, all the data is populated by the screening platform automatically. Then, you can simply check the verification status. The background check results will be delivered to you online.

Real-Time Analysis

Machine learning and artificial intelligence have made it possible to pick up on potential problems that a human user would otherwise miss. AI helps to hire managers to look at numerous relevant databases and stay current on any changes. If an existing employee moves, gets a divorce or is arrested, an ongoing check will tell you that.

Automated tools verify and compare ID documents with any other info or documents the candidate has made available to the company. Live verification and facial recognition are two other AI-enabled aspects that make the process of hiring easier.

Focus on Crucial Data

HR staff can focus on critical data, thanks to machine learning. They need to process information about employment history, education history, identification, driving records, and more – and all from a myriad of sources. By focusing on the most important data, machine learning helps analyze, streamline, and interpret candidate information, doing away with the risk of duplication and helping protect useful insight in a focused way.

Making Data More Manageable

The latest background check technology helps those responsible for hiring process huge data volumes, especially when running criminal background checks on existing employees or job applicants. Using a negative database to screen can help a company choose only candidates without a criminal record.

Review of Resumes Via Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS)

One factor recruiters and human resource experts should anticipate is the continuing advancement of human resource technology that streamlines the resume screening process and can help minimize prejudice. Artificial intelligence (AI) is at the heart of Application Tracking Systems (ATS), which assist Hiring Managers in effectively sifting through candidate pools. Sifting through candidates becomes more challenging for remote recruiting, as it also extends the candidate pool globally.

However, employees should be aware that as AI becomes a more sophisticated method for assisting in applicant acquisition, regulations providing security for applicants tested by AI options as part of the recruiting phase become more prevalent.

With all career applications now being sent online, it is important for businesses to use the best available applicant tracking system. Recruiters and recruiting managers must communicate to candidates the critical nature of writing an AI-friendly resume.

Otherwise, the top potential is likely to go unnoticed. When the applicant tracking system (ATS) works for you more than against you, it is easy to waste less time on menial activities and candidate filtering. Other than that, you should invest in the application review process’s human component. As recruiting managers can concentrate on developing relationships with potential applicants from the start, the selection process can run more smoothly.

Processes for Video Interviews

Although nothing beats speaking with someone in person, virtual interviews have their advantages. If a business learns the art of video interviewing, it opens up a world of exciting opportunities for the future. It is a well-known fact that video interviewing is an art as well as a skill. Occasionally, an applicant is an ideal fit for a job but misunderstands interview standards, resulting in a subpar video call that does not highlight their ability.

By establishing transparent protocols, it is possible to avoid disorganized or awkward video interviews. It is important to ensure that the human resources staff is comfortable troubleshooting simulated interview set-up problems. It makes sense to spend less time “checking” applicants through complicated or trick questions during a remote interview.

Perhaps a research assignment may be implemented for such purposes. The objective is to identify potential and prepare applicants for success. Establishing goals for career seekers in advance will help eliminate any unnecessary awkwardness. For instance, the HR team at Bloomberg uses strategies such as incorporating a simulated interview prep call and working on simulating an in-office experience.

Hopefully, this article will give you a reliable overview of the reasons why background-checking technology has evolved in the past few years. You can also share your thoughts by commenting below!
