Integrate Pescheck with Personio
What is Personio?
- Start screenings from Personio
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Personio
HR or the recruiter starts a Pescheck screening for an applicant or employee, 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 position come from Personio, so the candidate gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from Personio's side as far as Personio's API allows, so HR can see whether a check is still running or finished without logging in elsewhere.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Passport scans and certificates the candidate uploads 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 Personio workflow
In Personio Recruiting, applications move through the hiring stages your team has set up per position, from screening and interviews to offer. A background check usually belongs late in that pipeline: once you have a preferred candidate, before the contract is signed or before the first working day. For roles that need it, such as finance, security or access to sensitive data, it can also be part of re-screening existing employees.
Without an integration, that step means retyping the candidate's name, email address and role into a separate screening tool, then checking back to see whether the check is done. With the integration, the screening starts from the person who is already in Personio.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Personio through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your Personio admin authorises the connection once with Personio's API credentials. You choose which checks belong to which roles in Pescheck, and our integration team helps you map this to your Personio setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects Personio 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 Personio. 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 in-house recruiters who already manage hiring and employee data in Personio and want screening to be one more step in that process, not a separate project. It is a good fit for scale-ups hiring every month, and for companies in regulated sectors where every new hire needs a verified identity, references or a certificate of conduct.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Applicants in Personio Recruiting come over to Pescheck through Kombo once they reach the hiring stage you pick, for example after the final interview. You then order the check in Pescheck, which emails the candidate an invitation, so nobody retypes a name or position.
Yes, because Personio holds your employee records as well as your applicants. That lets you rescreen people already on the payroll, such as someone moving into a finance role or gaining access to sensitive customer data. The employee is picked from the Personio data in Pescheck and gets their own consent request.
Most Personio customers are growing companies of 10 to 2,000 people, so a typical package is ID verification, references and work history for every hire. Regulated roles add a certificate of conduct, diploma checks, PEP and sanctions screening or a credit check. You set the package per position in Pescheck.
Pescheck sends the status back as far as Personio's API allows, so HR can see whether a check is running or done. The full report, passport scans and certificates are kept in Pescheck and opened there by authorised users, so the Personio profile does not fill up with sensitive files.
Only the name, email and position needed to start a check leave Personio. The candidate gives consent inside Pescheck before anything is checked, and all uploaded documents remain in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment.
