Policy Nexus

Job relevant policies applied with confidence

Policy Nexus evaluates background checks against your screening policies — flagging only what's relevant, so teams review consistently at speed.

Job relevance

Same record.
Different role.
Different outcome.

Not every record is relevant to every job. Policy Nexus maps job exposure to specific conduct categories — highlighting what deserves attention and filtering out what doesn't.

Motor vehicle-related offenses are directly relevant to commercial driving roles.

Recent theft-related charges may pose a relevant risk to positions involving financial assets

Low-risk office roles have minimal overlap with these records.

Policy Builder

Start with templates built from research.

Kizuna provides dozens of policy templates based on negligent hiring research and common regulatory requirements – so you don't need to start from scratch. Customize them in the next step, or skip templates entirely and create your own.

Granular control

Fine-tune rules for every category.

Define which records should trigger a review. Then, customize the scope down to the most granular level: lookback period, charge severity, disposition, charge count and more.

SIGNALS REVIEW

Review what matters

Kizuna uses your policies to auto-evaluate background checks. Policy Nexus clears records that meet your criteria and flags ones that don't so you can make fast, confident decisions.

Benefits

Where adjudication gets easier

Replace your outdated matrix with a rules engine that reflects how you actually hire – with configurable rules for job relevance, jurisdiction, insurance requirements, and more.

Instant job relevance

A structured review signal tied to the role's exposures, so reviewers can focus on what actually matters.

No more guesswork

Each review signal is traceable to its source, so reviewers know which standard applied.

Faster throughput, fewer escalations

Less back-and-forth, fewer edge-case debates, and documentation you don't have to recreate later.

Defensible decisions

Clear rationale, rule trace, and policy versioning — so 'why' always has a structured answer.

Impact

Same report. More opportunities.

By converting record data into structured, policy-ready signals, it becomes easier to see where risk is clear, where it's manageable, and where a candidate may still be viable.

Reviewable edge cases

Edge cases become reviewable instead of automatically excluded.

Re-evaluate without rerunning

Role changes can be evaluated without rerunning the report.

Client overlay flexibility

Client overlays can open placements that would otherwise stall.

Retroactive policy updates

Policy updates apply across past and future reviews.

Same report. Clearer decisions.

Background check teams finally have the tools they need to make fast and smart decisions without compromising safety or compliance.
