Integrate Pescheck with ApplicantStack
What is ApplicantStack?
- Start screenings from ApplicantStack
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from ApplicantStack
The recruiter or hiring manager starts a Pescheck screening for a candidate without re-entering their details. The setup can follow the hiring stage your team already uses for this step.
Candidate details flow in
Name, email address and the job come from ApplicantStack, so the candidate gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from the ApplicantStack side as far as ApplicantStack's API allows, so the team can see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID scans and certificates the candidate uploads stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your ATS. The report is available to authorised users in Pescheck.
Where screening fits in an ApplicantStack workflow
In ApplicantStack, candidates move through the hiring stages you define per job, from prescreen and interviews to offer and onboarding. A background check belongs between choosing the candidate and their first day, usually right before or right after the offer.
When you hire in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, or a candidate has worked abroad, the checks you need are different from a standard US background check: a Dutch certificate of conduct (VOG), diploma verification, references, European employment history or PEP and sanctions screening. Running those in a separate tool means retyping the candidate's details and checking back by email.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with ApplicantStack through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your ApplicantStack admin authorises the connection once. You choose which checks belong to which jobs in Pescheck, and our integration team helps you map this to your hiring stages. Most checks are completed within 1 to 3 working days.
Connect once
Your admin connects ApplicantStack 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 ApplicantStack. 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 small and mid-sized employers that run hiring in ApplicantStack and recruit in the Netherlands or other European countries, or hire people with a European background. It is a good fit for teams without a dedicated screening specialist who want GDPR-compliant checks to be one more step in the hiring process, not a separate project.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, through Kombo. Candidates in ApplicantStack Recruit reach Pescheck with name, email and job, so you can run checks a US screening vendor usually does not cover, such as a Dutch VOG or European diploma verification.
Either works. Most teams start it around the offer, after prescreen and interviews, so it is finished before ApplicantStack Onboard sends the new-hire paperwork.
A certificate of conduct from the relevant country, diploma checks, references and employment history across Europe, and for finance roles PEP and sanctions screening. You pick these per job in Pescheck.
Little. Your ApplicantStack admin authorises the connection once, and our integration team helps you link checks to your hiring stages. No developer is needed.
In Pescheck, under ISO 27001, not in ApplicantStack. The candidate gives GDPR consent there before anything runs, and the hiring team sees progress in ApplicantStack only where its API allows.
