Integrate Pescheck with Gusto
What is Gusto?
- Start screenings from Gusto
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Gusto
HR or the business owner starts a Pescheck screening for a new hire or employee without re-entering their details.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and job title come from Gusto, so the person gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from Gusto's side as far as Gusto's API allows, so you can see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Passport scans and diplomas stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your payroll system. The report is available to authorised users in Pescheck.
Where screening fits in a Gusto workflow
In Gusto, a person becomes a new hire when you send the offer and start onboarding. That is the natural moment for a background check: after the offer is accepted and before the first day. Gusto already offers US background checks through its own partner. Pescheck is a fit when you need checks outside the US, for example because the new hire studied, worked or lived in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe, or when you need specific European documents such as a Dutch certificate of conduct (VOG).
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Gusto through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your Gusto admin authorises the connection once. In Pescheck you choose which checks belong to which roles, and our integration team helps you set this up for your company in Gusto.
Connect once
Your admin connects Gusto 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 Gusto. 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 US companies on Gusto that hire people with an international background, or that have a European link through customers, investors or a parent company that expects European-standard screening. Pescheck verifies identity, diplomas, employment history and references, and screens for PEP, sanctions and adverse media. Most checks are completed within 1 to 3 working days. Pescheck is based in the Netherlands, GDPR-compliant and ISO 27001 certified.
