1. Ask for their PIN or QR
The worker opens their Backmi app and shows you a QR code or reads out a six-digit PIN.
For households
Know who is coming into your home.
Before you hand over your keys or your children, see what the people they worked for actually confirmed. Not what an agency promised, not what a friend of a friend heard.
Checking someone
Three steps, no account.
2. Open their profile
Scan the code, or open the link they send. Their confirmed profile opens in your browser.
3. See who confirmed what
Ghana Card match, past employers and what they said, police clearance and certificates, each with its source.
What you see
Facts, each with who confirmed it.
- Whether their face matches their Ghana Card, checked against NIA records.
- The households and companies they worked for, the dates, and whether each would hire them again.
- What stood out to those employers: honest, punctual, good with children, careful with property.
- Police clearance and certificates, once checked.
- A trust score out of 100, built only from what others confirmed.
You never see the referees' names or phone numbers, and the PIN stops working after a day.
Hiring safely
Good habits that go with any check.
Meet in person
Make sure the person in front of you is the person on the profile. The name matches their Ghana Card.
Ask about their past jobs
Talk through the employers on their profile. The best checks are a conversation, not just a score.
Look for police clearance
For childcare and live-in work, ask for a profile with a checked CID report.
Agree terms in writing
Pay, hours, days off and duties, written down and shared, avoid most disagreements later.
Questions
What households ask us.
Does it cost anything to check a worker?
No. Viewing a worker's profile with their PIN or QR is free, and you don't need an account or an app.
Can I look someone up without their PIN?
No. Profiles can only be opened with the worker's PIN, their QR code, or their yes to a company's request. That's what makes it fair to them.
The worker isn't on Backmi yet. What now?
Tell them about it: building a profile is free for workers. Once past employers have confirmed them, they can share it with you.
How do I know the references are real?
Referees answer from their own phones through a one-time link. Backmi refuses references from the worker's own number, spots answers sent from the worker's own phone, and flags people who vouch for each other or for many workers. Referees who verified their own Ghana Card count more.
Is a high score a guarantee?
No check can promise how someone will behave. A Backmi profile shows what others confirmed about their past work, so you can decide with facts instead of hearsay.
Hire with facts, not hearsay.
Ask the next person you interview for their Backmi PIN.
