How it works
From invite to trust report in four steps
No paperwork, no queues at offices. You stay in control of the checks; the candidate does the work on their phone.
- 1
Create a role
Pick a template such as Nanny or Driver. We recommend the right package — add or remove checks, guarantors and references.
- 2
Send a verification link
Invite one or fifty candidates by SMS, email or a shareable link. Links stay valid for 7 days.
- 3
Candidate verifies on their phone
They consent, scan their ID, take a live selfie and add guarantors and references. No app download, works on any smartphone.
- 4
Get the trust report
Watch checks complete in real time and receive a clear trust score, risk level and recommendation you can print or share.
