Safer recruitment that runs itself.
From interview to first day, offer letters, contracts, references, checks and induction all happen in order. Nobody can start until their checks are recorded.
Step by step
Green steps happen on their own. Terracotta steps are the only ones that need a person, usually one click.

What happens
You interview and score the candidate. That's the part that needs your judgement. Questions and scores are saved against them.
When you offer the job, a professional offer letter goes out and the contract is sent for e-signing. It's signed on their phone and saved to their file.
Referees are emailed straight away and chased until they reply. DBS and right to work checks are recorded, and nobody can be given a start date until both are clear. Safer recruitment is built in.
Induction runs stage by stage, with each point acknowledged. Policies and training are read, signed and quizzed before or during the first week. Probation reviews and supervisions are booked in advance with reminders.
What you get
The checks Ofsted expects are done in order, and can't be skipped.

What you still decide
The system does the running around. The decisions that matter stay with you.
- Who to interview, and who to hire.

- How their probation is going.
Good to know
Can someone start before their checks are back?
No start date can be set until DBS and right to work checks are recorded as clear.
Do candidates need to print anything?
No. Contracts and documents are signed on their phone.
What if a referee doesn't reply?
They are chased automatically until they do.
