GBG, the global specialist in Identity Data Intelligence, has partnered with NorthRow, a leading regulation-technology compliance software provider, to provide employers with an app-based solution to manage employees’ Right to Work status.
Hiring managers use the Right to Work app to scan their candidates’ identity documents in real-time, using any Apple or Android smart device. The rapid data capture function then works instantly to validate whether the documents are genuine.
The Right to Work app supports hiring managers in building a valid Statutory Excuse, in full compliance with Home Office regulations. Results are securely stored in the cloud rather than on devices, meaning they are immediately secure, accessible and reportable, for central HR teams.
The app-based solution can be deployed by organisations without extensive training for hiring managers or investing in specialist hardware to capture, validate and store documents. It also eliminates the need to manually enter information and significantly reduces the time needed to complete the required checks.
Alister Humphreys, General Manager, GBG said: “Our customers kept telling us how keen they are to use technology to manage a fully compliant employment screening process, particularly with the uncertainties around Brexit. The solution is a perfect fit within our KnowYourPeople suite of employment screening checks, which help organisations recruit new employees into roles faster.
Adrian Black, CEO, NorthRow adds: “NorthRow is delighted to partner with GBG, a market leader when it comes to helping businesses know their employees. As businesses prepare for Brexit, we’ve seen a lot of interest in the app-based solution. Our commitment to customers is that our solution will keep pace with all legislative changes, guaranteeing certainty around employment entitlement, even in these uncertain times.”
The partnership, agreed after a three month trial, will enable GBG to exclusively resell the Northrow Right to Work app as part of the GBG KnowYourPeople portfolio of technology based employment screening services.
