Integrate Pescheck with AFAS
What is AFAS?
- Start screenings from AFAS
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from AFAS
HR or the recruiter starts a Pescheck screening for an applicant or employee without re-entering their details. The setup can follow the recruitment or onboarding step where screening already sits.
Candidate details flow in
Name, email address and the position come from AFAS, so the candidate gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from AFAS as far as AFAS's API allows, so HR can see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID documents and certificates the candidate uploads stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your HR system.
Where screening fits in an AFAS workflow
In AFAS, applicants move through recruitment and selection into a new employee record, and AFAS lets the new hire submit details and documents before the first working day. That is where screening belongs: once you have a preferred candidate, before the contract is signed or during onboarding. In Dutch healthcare, childcare, education and financial services, a certificate of conduct (VOG) or wider screening is often mandatory.
Without an integration, HR copies the person's name, email address and role from AFAS into a separate screening tool, and tracks in a spreadsheet who has handed in their VOG. With the integration, the screening starts from the person who is already in AFAS.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with AFAS through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your AFAS admin authorises the connection once with AFAS's API credentials. In Pescheck you choose which checks belong to which roles, from ID and VOG to diploma, references, employment history, PEP and sanctions or credit checks, and our integration team helps you map this to your AFAS setup. Most checks are completed within 1 to 3 working days.
Connect once
Your admin connects AFAS 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 AFAS. 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 HR teams and recruiters who already run hiring, onboarding and employee data in AFAS and want screening to be a fixed step in that process. It fits healthcare, childcare and education employers where every hire needs a VOG, and financial services firms, municipalities and growing companies that need to show, in a GDPR-compliant way, that everyone has been screened.
