Rightcheck

Overview

Rightcheck is a recruitment verification platform for UK and Republic of Ireland employers, bringing candidate submissions, recruiter checks and HR oversight into one workflow. It best suits teams that need multiple identity-check methods and formal compliance controls; custom pricing means it is less suited to buyers seeking a transparent, self-serve price.

Its scope covers Right to Work, DBS criminal record and Proof of Address checks, with physical, digital and share code methods. Candidate, recruiter and HR tools divide the work across the people involved, rather than treating verification as a single recruiter task.

Key features

Candidate submissions

The candidate app guides applicants through supplying requested information and identity documents. Tailored messages and automated reminders can help keep submissions moving, which is useful when recruiters are coordinating checks across a hiring pipeline. Rightcheck also supports document capture, status reminders and an audit trail.

Recruiter checks and automation

Recruiters can run checks from a mobile app, receive approval notifications and complete mandatory Home Office imposter checks. Rightcheck says Right to Work checks are often automatically approved in under 60 seconds. That may shorten routine cases, but it does not remove the need to handle checks that require further attention.

HR oversight and integrations

An HR portal gives organisations visibility and control over checks and outcomes, making it a better fit for teams that need central oversight than for a one-off individual check. Rightcheck says it integrates with popular HR and ATS platforms, with integration support at no additional cost. API access is also supported.

Security and support

The recruiter app page says candidate data is encrypted, securely transmitted and wiped from the device. Rightcheck says it is GDPR compliant, holds ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, is an approved Home Office IDSP supplier, and is registered on GOV.UK as a Digital Identity Service Provider certified against the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework. Customers receive one-to-one training and onboarding, online support, training materials and tutorials.

Pricing

Rightcheck is paid software with custom pricing; organisations need to request a quote. That makes it difficult to compare costs before engaging with the supplier, and there is no public seat or usage allowance to weigh against a team's expected volume. The choice is therefore best made after confirming both the quote and that the supported checks meet the organisation's needs.

Platforms

Rightcheck supports Android, iOS and web. The mobile apps support candidate submissions and recruiter checks, while the HR portal provides organisational oversight.

Who it's for

Rightcheck is aimed at HR professionals, recruiters, hiring managers, HR directors and compliance officers managing candidate verification. Its mix of check methods, applicant reminders, recruiter tools and HR visibility is most relevant to organisations coordinating recurring checks. It is a less natural fit for buyers who only need a standalone web check or who need to choose on a clearly stated price.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Supports Right to Work, DBS and Proof of Address checks across physical, digital and share code methods, giving teams one platform for several verification needs.
• Pros: Candidate reminders, recruiter approval notifications and HR oversight cover different stages of the workflow rather than leaving coordination entirely to recruiters.
• Pros: Integration support is provided at no additional cost, and onboarding and training are included in the stated customer support.
• Cons: Custom pricing requires a quote, so teams cannot readily assess cost against their expected check volume before contacting the supplier.
• Cons: The workflow is geared to recruitment and HR organisations; buyers looking for only a single check may not need its combined candidate, recruiter and HR tools.

Verdict
