Screening software for HR teams: every check in one platform

Screening software checks that a person is who they say they are, and that the information they gave you is correct. It handles the whole process: candidate consent, the checks themselves and a clear report at the end.

A screening can be one check or a combination. A finance lead with payment authority needs different checks than an operational role. With screening software, you set those packages up once and every hire in that role gets the same treatment.

When does screening make sense?

Screening is worth it whenever you need certainty about a candidate's identity, background or suitability. It matters most when:

• the role gives access to sensitive information, money or valuable assets
• the person will work with children or vulnerable people
• you hire internationally or across several jurisdictions
• you work in a regulated sector, such as healthcare or financial services
• clients, contracts or your own policy require verification

Screening is more than a single check. Pescheck covers the full employee lifecycle, from the first application to promotions and periodic re-screening. Pick a screening type to see how it works.

• Background checks: verify identity, criminal record, qualifications and work history before you make an offer.
• Pre-employment screening: check the key facts early in the hiring process, before the final decision.
• Employment screening: how to screen your own people, step by step.
• In-employment screening: re-screen existing employees after a promotion, a change in role or an incident, or on a fixed schedule.
• International checks: screen candidates in 195 countries, with checks that follow local law.
• Screen yourself: see what a screening would show about you, before an employer does.

Each screening is built from individual checks. Combine them into packages per role:

• ID verification, covering 31,000+ identity document types worldwide
• Criminal record check, including the Dutch VOG
• Reference check
• Diploma and qualification check
• PEP and sanctions check
• Adverse media check
• Credit check
• Integrity check

Pescheck connects natively with Workday, Greenhouse, BambooHR, Personio, SAP SuccessFactors, AFAS, HiBob, Lever, SmartRecruiters, Bullhorn and 100+ other systems. You start a screening from the hiring tool you already use, and the report flows straight back into the candidate's profile. No copying and pasting between systems, no separate spreadsheets.

Is your system not on the list? Build your own flow with the Pescheck API and webhooks.

• Start from your ATS: trigger a screening automatically when a candidate reaches a set stage.
• Screen in bulk: invite hundreds of candidates at once with a CSV upload or a bulk trigger from your ATS.
• Results back where you work: reports sync to your ATS or HRIS, so recruiters never have to switch tools.

Every action in Pescheck gets a time stamp automatically: the invitation, the candidate's consent, each check, every status change and the final report. That gives you a complete, tamper-proof log for each screening, ready the moment an auditor, a regulator or a candidate asks for it.

HR, legal and security always know where a screening stands, through live status in the dashboard, email notifications and webhooks. No more files scattered across shared drives, and no more guessing who approved what.

Screening means processing personal data, so privacy is built into every step:

• consent from the candidate, collected and logged in the platform
• data minimisation and retention periods you set per package, with automatic deletion
• role-based access, so people only see the screenings they need
• data hosted in the EU, and a data processing agreement with every customer

Pescheck is ISO 27001 certified and licensed by the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security. Read more in our Trust Center and on Privacy and GDPR.

Candidates open a mobile-friendly portal through a secure link. They don't need an account or a password. Clear steps and a progress bar keep drop-off low, and most candidates complete their part in a few minutes on their phone.

The hidden cost of manual screening isn't the price per check. It's the HR hours, the patchy files and the compliance risk, and they grow with every new hire.

A clear, repeatable process that works for your team and your candidates.

1. Build your package. Choose the checks for each role and set retention periods. We help you fit this into your hiring process.
2. Invite candidates. Send invitations one by one, in bulk or automatically from your ATS. Candidates confirm their identity and consent in a few minutes on their phone.
3. Checks run automatically. Our screening engine runs the verifications, pulls data from official sources and sends any flags to our specialists for review.
4. Get a clear report. A shareable report lands in your dashboard, in your inbox or straight back in your ATS through our API.

• For HR teams: replace spreadsheets with automated screening in your hiring process. Onboard new colleagues faster and give candidates a better experience.
• For recruitment agencies: screen for several clients at once, with fast turnaround and a separate report per client. See screening for recruitment agencies.
