Automated TazWorks Stalled Verification Escalations

Every morning, WebRun opens TazWorks, finds employment and education verifications with no response from the employer or school in more than 3 business days, posts the oldest stalls to Slack for escalation, and logs each one to a sheet so your researchers know exactly what to chase.

In short

How do I escalate background check verifications that have stalled?

WebRun checks TazWorks every morning for employment and education verifications with no response from the employer or school past your set threshold, then posts the oldest stalls to Slack for a researcher to escalate. Each one is also logged to a sheet with the verifier's contact details and days silent, so nothing sits quiet until a client asks for status.

  • Stalled verifications get escalated the same morning they cross the threshold
  • Researchers work from a sorted list instead of scanning the full queue
  • Verifier contact history is logged automatically, not tracked from memory

Questions, answered

Does it contact the employer or school directly?

No. It only surfaces stalled verifications internally in Slack and logs them to a sheet. Any outreach to a verifier is made by your researcher, not WebRun.

What counts as stalled?

Any verification with no response from the employer or school past the contact threshold you set, based on the last attempt date recorded in TazWorks.

What happens once a researcher makes a new attempt?

The log updates with the new contact date, so a verification that's actively being worked doesn't keep escalating as if it were ignored.

Put this on autopilot.
