First-Destination Survey Automation
First-destination surveys are mandatory but painful when done by hand. Prentus runs an automatic monthly LinkedIn scan, backed by dozens of third-party sources that verify employment, with AI reviewing the results and surfacing legitimate outcomes for your staff to confirm. Customizable surveys sent by email and text collect the rest automatically, dramatically improving response rates and data quality without months of manual chasing.
