Slick, professional candidate experience

Save time from manually requesting checks and entering the results with Ciphr’s identity and background checks, which integrates with Ciphr iRecruit, our applicant tracking system (ATS). Configure your pre-employment checks for every job role so that your candidate experience is professional, secure, and your people data is accurate at all times.

Build background and identity checks into every application and carry these out through Ciphr’s dedicated identity checks platform. Once you’re in the identity checking software, you can request various checks, at the level required for the role. The candidates will receive access to an Experian portal to complete the necessary information and upload supporting documentation. Once the results are known, the data is fed back to Ciphr iRecruit.

Connected systems working seamlessly as a whole

Keying candidate data can make recruitment processes slow and inefficient, especially if you’re hiring for multiple positions at the same time. Ciphr Connect, Ciphr’s HCM platform, frees up your time with a single source of truth for all your people data. Integration helps to speed up your processes, maximising your chances to hire and retain top talent.

Full integration between Ciphr and Experian with single sign-on means that you no longer have to remember multiple logins and the data is automatically pulled across from Ciphr’s identity and background checks platform to Experian. For auditing purposes, you can produce a history of all the checks that you have carried out.

Onboarding

View and report on your progress

Ciphr’s identity and background checks portal enables you to view the progress of all your checks at any time. Once the checks are complete, the reports from Experian are available to HR to view in the portal. If you prefer a visual representation of your progress, so you can spot any gaps or trends, you can view dedicated identity and background checks dashboards which present a high-level overview.

What is employee background checking software?

Traditionally, identity and background checks software has been invaluable to the education sector, to ensure high standards of safeguarding are attained, as well as any job where candidates may deal with sensitive data. But it has also been used to verify identity and run candidate background checks, to prevent any unnecessary delays in the hiring process.

Usability is a key factor when selecting a system, as HR teams look to carry out multiple background checks without having to key the same data multiple times in different systems.
