How it works

From submission to report in hours, not weeks.

You submit a candidate. We handle the rest — consent, checks, and a clear recommendation delivered straight to your dashboard.

01
You submit a candidate

Name, email, and the role they're being considered for. That's all we need to get started.

02
Candidate consents

We send them a secure invite. They provide consent, personal details, and employment history — fully GDPR compliant.

03
Automated checks run

Sanctions, adverse media, employment verification, and professional register checks — all run automatically.

04
You get a clear answer

A single score, a risk band, and a plain-English report. Clear results are delivered instantly. Anything flagged goes through human review first.

What we check

The things that matter before you hire.

Every check is mapped against the role being filled — a compliance officer and a board advisor are held to different standards. Findings are weighted by severity, recency, and relevance.

Sanctions & watchlists

Cross-referenced against global sanctions lists. An active match is always flagged, regardless of role.

Adverse media

Open-source intelligence scan for criminal, regulatory, and reputational risk — weighted by severity and how recent the coverage is.

Employment verification

5-year history cross-checked against Companies House, FCA Register, SRA, and uploaded documents. Gaps over 18 months are flagged.

Professional registers

Verification against FCA, PRA, SRA, and other relevant regulatory registers to confirm authorisation status.

Scoring methodology

Three outcomes, one recommendation.

Every candidate is scored 0–100. The result determines the recommendation — and whether human review is needed before you see it.

80–100
Clear

No material findings. Report delivered automatically — no delays.

50–79
Caution

Findings that warrant attention. A human reviewer checks before the report reaches you.

0–49
Do Not Proceed

Serious flags identified. Human-reviewed and delivered with full context.

Case study

Four days from election
to expulsion.

A political party's newest parliamentarian was expelled within days of winning his seat. The warning signs were already in public records — months before the ballot.

We ran the screening that never happened. Three findings. All pre-election. All public.
