- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Softgarden
HR or the recruiter starts a Pescheck screening for an applicant without re-entering their details. The setup can follow the selection step your team already uses for this.
Candidate details flow in
Name, email address and the job come from Softgarden, so the candidate gets the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from Softgarden's side as far as Softgarden's API allows, so the hiring team can see whether a check is running or done.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID scans, diplomas and certificates of conduct stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your ATS.
Where screening fits in a Softgarden workflow
In Softgarden, applications move through the selection process your team has set up per job, from first review and interviews to the offer. A background check belongs near the end: once a preferred candidate is chosen, before the contract is signed or before the first working day. In sectors like care, finance or security it is often a formal requirement rather than a nice-to-have.
Without an integration, someone has to copy the candidate's name, email address and position into a separate screening tool and keep track of results by hand. With the integration, the screening starts from the applicant who is already in Softgarden.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Softgarden through Kombo, an integration platform for HR and recruiting software that many HR tech vendors use. Your Softgarden admin authorises the connection once. You decide in Pescheck which checks belong to which roles, such as ID, criminal record, diploma, references or employment history, and our integration team helps you map this to your Softgarden setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects Softgarden 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 Softgarden. 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 recruiters in Germany, Austria and Switzerland that manage applications in Softgarden and also hire people in the Netherlands or elsewhere in Europe. It helps most where hiring is frequent and where roles require verified documents, references or a criminal record check, handled in a GDPR-compliant way.
