Speed up hiring with UK Right to Work Verification

Modern hiring starts with identity, and with every company in the UK legally required to carry out Right to Work checks or risk significant fines, verification accuracy is essential. It’s all too easy for someone to obtain forged documents, enabling them to present a false identity when applying for work. With an 8% year-on-year increase in identity fraud1, this is becoming a growing concern for hiring managers everywhere. 1 - Source
Sterling’s new UK Right to Work Verification checks a candidate’s identity documents using a unique combination of artificial intelligence and, as required, expert human review, to validate documentation. The net result of the service is that it helps to speed up screening and hiring, provides a better candidate experience, and reduces fraud all at once.
This innovative solution is available to employers as a stand alone service to help ensure UK Right to Work obligations are met, or as part of a wider background screening programme to mitigate the risk of a bad hire. Empowering employers to easily check Right to Work eligibility is key to streamlining the recruitment process.
