Integrate Pescheck with Sympa
What is Sympa?
- Start screenings from Sympa
- No retyping of candidate details
- Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
Starting a screening from Sympa
HR starts a Pescheck screening for a new hire or employee without re-entering their details. The setup can follow the onboarding flow your team already uses.
Employee details flow in
Name, email address and position come from Sympa, so the person receives the right Pescheck invitation straight away.
Status comes back
Progress is visible from Sympa's side as far as Sympa's API allows, so HR can see whether a check is still running or finished.
Sensitive documents stay in Pescheck
ID scans, diplomas and certificates of conduct stay in Pescheck's ISO 27001 certified environment, not in your HRIS.
Where screening fits in a Sympa workflow
Sympa is where the employee record lives, often fed by a separate recruiting tool. Screening therefore usually connects when a new hire is created in Sympa, as part of onboarding and before the first working day. In organisations with regulated roles, it also fits internal moves and periodic re-screening, for example for staff with access to finance systems, client data or vulnerable people.
Without an integration, HR copies the person's details from Sympa into a separate screening tool and tracks results in a spreadsheet. With the integration, the screening starts from the record that is already in Sympa.
How the connection works
Pescheck connects with Sympa through Kombo, an integration platform for HR software that many HR tech vendors use. Your Sympa admin authorises the connection once. You decide in Pescheck which checks belong to which roles or entities, such as ID, VOG or criminal record, diploma, references or employment history, and our integration team helps you map this to your Sympa setup.
Connect once
Your admin connects Sympa 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 Sympa. 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 in mid-sized and large organisations that run their people processes in Sympa, including international groups with entities in the Netherlands. It helps most where every hire needs a documented, GDPR-compliant screening and where different countries or roles require different checks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Sympa connects to Pescheck through Kombo, and a Sympa admin authorises the link once. Because Sympa is an HRIS rather than an ATS, screening hangs off the employee record, typically when a new hire is created during onboarding.
Yes. Groups running several legal entities in Sympa can keep a separate Pescheck package per entity, country or role, for example a VOG for Dutch staff and a criminal record check elsewhere. Our integration team aligns those packages with your Sympa organisation structure.
Yes. Besides new hires, HR can start a check for a person already in Sympa, for instance when they move into a role with access to finance systems, client data or vulnerable people. You order and follow it in Pescheck, and Sympa shows its status only where its API allows.
Just name, email address and position, enough to send the right invitation. ID scans, diplomas and certificates of conduct are never written back into Sympa.
Every employee consents in Pescheck before a check runs, and the checks you pick per country follow local law. The documents stay with Pescheck under ISO 27001, so your HRIS keeps only the basic record.
