“VettingGateway is an integral part of our background checking process. Without it, we’d be completely unable to manage such a large pool of people.”
What is a background check?
A background check allows you to verify information about a persons past. For example, when hiring a new employee it is important to check their work and education history, or you may need to do a criminal record check.
How it works, in a nutshell
1. Set your parameters
Get started by setting up bespoke rules and processes for your typical applicant checks. Select from intelligent defaults (created by our experts) or create your own to mirror existing processes.
3. Complete checks
Tasks will be prioritised through a checklist, listing outstanding tasks within an applicant’s profile. Tasks are presented in a logical order to ensure maximum productivity and efficiency.
2. Invite applicant
You can now invite applicants in a quick and easy manner. Simply type in an individual’s email address, or upload a CSV file to send out bulk invitations.
4. Quality management
Once a profile is complete, you’ll be provided with a final opportunity to quality check the profile. After your seal of approval, you can download a PDF summary, or send the information to AirportGateway.
