Integrate Pescheck with Abacus
What is Abacus?
- Start screenings from Abacus
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Abacus
HR starts a Pescheck screening for a new hire or employee without re-entering their details.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and position come from Abacus, so the person receives the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible as far as Abacus's API allows, so HR can see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID scans and certificates stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your ERP. The report is available to authorised users in Pescheck.
Where screening fits in an Abacus workflow
In Abacus, HR data, payroll and the personnel file live in one system. A background check usually belongs between the hiring decision and the first working day: once you have chosen a candidate and before the contract is final or before they get access to systems, money or customers. For positions with higher requirements, such as finance, security or access to confidential data, it can also mean screening existing employees again when they change roles.
Without an integration, that step means copying the person's name, email address and role into a separate screening tool and checking back later. With the integration, the screening starts from the person who is already in Abacus.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Abacus through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software. Your Abacus admin authorises the connection once. API access depends on your Abacus licence, so check with your Abacus partner that it is included. In Pescheck you choose which checks belong to which roles, for example identity, criminal record extract, diplomas, references or employment history, and our integration team helps you map this to your setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects Abacus to Pescheck through Kombo with a secure authorisation. No custom development.
Start screening where you work
Recruiters and HR start a Pescheck screening from the record in Abacus. The candidate gets a secure invitation to give consent.
Follow progress in one place
Status updates come back to the record, so nobody copies data between systems.
Who uses it
The integration suits Swiss companies and organisations that already run HR and payroll in Abacus and want screening to be a fixed, documented step in onboarding. It fits sectors where verified identity, a clean criminal record or confirmed qualifications are required, such as finance, healthcare, security and the public sector, and where data protection under the GDPR and Swiss law matters.
