Credit checks, police checks, qualification verification and employment references — all in one platform. Built for the financial integrity and regulatory demands of the finance and professional services sector.
Hiring the wrong person in finance or professional services doesn’t just cost time — it can cost your clients, your licence and your reputation. We make sure the people you bring on are exactly who they say they are.
Placing someone with undisclosed debt, insolvency history or financial misconduct into a role handling client funds or financial advice is a serious liability risk.
Inflated CVs are common in professional services. Without independent verification, you’re trusting a candidate’s self-report for roles that require genuine credentials.
Gaps, misrepresented titles and fictional roles are easy to include on a resume and easy to miss without a structured verification process.
If ASIC, a law society or a professional body asks for evidence of your screening process, you need documented results — not just a verbal assurance it was done.
Most providers offer these as separate products requiring separate logins and separate processes. We combine them into a single candidate invitation — one platform, one result. Faster onboarding, tighter risk management and a cleaner audit trail for your compliance records.
Banks, accounting firms, law firms, financial planning practices — one invitation covering every check your onboarding process requires.

Industry studies consistently show that a significant portion of finance sector fraud is committed by current or former employees — many of whom had undisclosed financial history.
