Integrate Pescheck with Breathe HR
What is Breathe HR?
- Start screenings from Breathe HR
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Breathe
Start a Pescheck screening for a new starter or an existing employee without re-entering their details.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and job title come from Breathe, so the right Pescheck invitation goes out straight away.
Status stays visible
You can follow progress from the Breathe side as far as Breathe's API allows, and see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Passport scans and certificates stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your HR system. The report is available to authorised users in Pescheck.
Where screening fits in a Breathe workflow
In a small business, the person who hires is often the founder, an office manager or a single HR lead. Once someone accepts an offer, they are added to Breathe and onboarding starts. That is also the moment to verify who they are: identity and right to work, references, previous employment, qualifications and, for roles with access to money, vulnerable people or sensitive data, a criminal record check.
Without an integration, this means typing the new starter's details into a separate tool and remembering to chase the result before day one. With the integration, the screening starts from the person who is already in Breathe.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Breathe through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software. Kombo reads employee and employment data from Breathe. Your Breathe admin authorises the connection once. In Pescheck you choose which checks belong to which roles, and our integration team helps you set it up.
Connect once
Your admin connects Breathe HR 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 Breathe HR. 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 UK and international SMEs that run their people admin in Breathe and want screening to be a routine part of onboarding, for example in care, financial services, professional services, hospitality and retail. It is especially useful when you hire across countries, because Pescheck handles international checks while keeping the process GDPR-compliant.
