MHR strengthens hiring compliance capabilities with integrated Background Checks powered by Rightcheck
MHR has expanded the capabilities of People First with integrated background checking powered by Rightcheck, enabling organisations to manage identity verification, pre-employment screening and ongoing compliance through one connected experience.
As recruitment becomes increasingly regulated, HR teams face growing pressure to verify candidates quickly while meeting complex legal, regulatory and governance requirements. Yet, many organisations are still relying on manual processes, spreadsheets, emails, separate portals and multiple suppliers, creating avoidable administration, delays and risk.
Background Checks in People First brings these essential screening activities together into one seamless workflow.
Powered by Rightcheck, one of the UK's leading identity verification and background screening technology providers, the integrated solution enables organisations to manage checks without moving between disconnected systems.
Automated candidate communications, reminders and status updates reduce manual chasing and give HR and recruitment real-time visibility of screening progress. Check results and supporting records create a clear digital audit trail, helping organisations strengthen governance and demonstrate compliance.
Candidates also benefit from the intuitive, app-based experience, which guides them through each stage and helps them complete checks accurately and quickly. This reduces friction, improves completion rates and helps employers’ onboard people sooner.
The integrated solution supports a broad range of pre-employment and ongoing compliance checks, including:
- Right to Work verification
- Digital identity verification (IDVT)
- DBS and criminal record checks
- Employment referencing
- Qualification verification
- Sanctions and adverse media screening
- Ongoing Right to Work and compliance monitoring
- Automated compliance alerts and reminders
Unlike traditional point-in-time screening, MHR’s solution with Rightcheck provides one continuous journey, from identity verification and initial screening through to rechecks, monitoring and offboarding.
Rightcheck is trusted by more than 800 organisations and processes over one million background checks every year. The platform is recognised for its market-leading digital identity verification technology and comprehensive screening capabilities, covering the entire candidate lifecycle from application through to off-boarding.
By integrating Rightcheck directly into People First, MHR continues to help organisations simplify complex HR processes while enabling faster hiring, stronger compliance and a better experience for candidates and recruiters alike.
