Verifile was founded by Cranfield University entrepreneur of the year Eyal Ben Cohen because of two unconnected events that would highlight a problem not currently being solved.

In 2003, a driver working for Brinks Israel, the armed security providers, made off with nearly five million shekels. The driver, Saguy Unger, had used a false identity to get the job at Brinks just two weeks earlier, masking the fact he had a criminal record. Brinks’ alleged sophisticated pre-employment screening techniques had failed because the obvious first step of checking Unger’s identity had been overlooked.

Days later, also in Israel, Eyal Ben Cohen was preparing to move to England to begin studying for an MBA at Cranfield University requiring him to change the address on his identity card. This seemingly simple process saw him standing in line for three hours. The combination of the two events got Eyal thinking; the scrutiny and bureaucracy involved with a simple change of address versus the lack of attention paid to a recruitment process which allowed someone to commit armed robbery.

And so, the idea for Verifile was born, and, while studying for his MBA at Cranfield University, Eyal set about turning theory into reality – in the shape of Verifile.
