The Process

From invite to approved in 6 steps.

A structured end-to-end workflow that guides both your team and the candidate, with nothing left to chance and everything logged for audit.

01

Candidate Invited

Business sends a secure invitation link. Candidate registers on the self-service portal and begins their application at their own pace.

02

Multi-Step Application

Candidate completes 6 stages: personal information, employment history, background declarations, document upload, medical screening, and legal consent.

03

Document Submission

Passport, driving licence, P45s, BRP card, experience letters, all uploaded securely via the portal with automated format and completeness validation.

04

Verification Checks

Each module runs in parallel: identity, employment gaps, DBS, RTW, financial, and academic checks, with real-time status updates for your team.

05

Contract & e-Signature

Once checks pass, the system auto-generates the employment contract. Candidate signs digitally, no printing, scanning, or posting required.
