Starting a screening from People First
HR starts a Pescheck screening for a new or current employee without re-entering their details.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and job title come from People First, so the person gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from People First's side as far as People First's API allows, so HR can 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 People First workflow
In People First, a new starter is set up with their employee record before the first working day, along with the onboarding tasks that come with it. That is the natural moment for a background check: the offer is accepted, and identity, qualifications, references or a criminal record check still need to be confirmed before the start date. For roles in finance, healthcare, education or with access to sensitive data, current employees can be re-screened from the same record.
Without an integration, HR copies the new starter's name, email address and job title into a separate screening tool and keeps track of the outcome by hand. With the integration, the screening starts from the employee who is already in People First.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with MHR People First through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your People First admin authorises the connection once. You choose which checks belong to which roles in Pescheck, and our integration team helps you map this to your People First setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects MHR People First 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 MHR People First. 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 that manage their workforce in People First and employ people outside the UK as well, for example in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. Pescheck runs checks such as ID verification, criminal record (including the Dutch VOG), diploma, employment history, references, PEP and sanctions screening and adverse media, GDPR-compliant and in most cases within 1 to 3 working days.
