AI-generated applications, right-to-work compliance, sanctions screening — compressed into 2 minutes.

The compliance burden on early-careers hiring has tripled in 24 months. AI-generated applications. Refreshed Home Office RTW guidance. FCA SM&CR for financial services. BPSS for public sector. And a graduate cohort can’t take 18 days to clear. TalentVerify is the verification engine that handles all of it — in under two minutes per candidate, end-to-end.

What it does

Six verifications, one workflow .

Most early-careers hiring teams stitch together three or four verification vendors and a manual spreadsheet. TalentVerify replaces the stitching with one unified workflow, one audit trail and one configurable governance model.

Home Office RTW (digital + manual)

Digital RTW for British and Irish citizens; share-code workflow for non-British/Irish; manual document check fallback. 99.7% match accuracy on the digital path. All checks logged with full audit trail.

01 · RTW

Identity document checks

Liveness check + document check across passports, driving licences, BRPs, EU national ID. NFC chip read where available. AI-prep detection trained on synthetic-image patterns. Manual review queue for edge cases.

02 · ID

OFSI, EU and UN sanctions

Live sanctions screening against OFSI, EU and UN consolidated lists. Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) screening on configurable thresholds. Daily list refresh; automatic re-screen on hit-list changes.

03 · Sanctions

BPSS-aligned for public sector

Identity, employment history, nationality and unspent-criminal-record verification — the four BPSS pillars — in one workflow. G-Cloud 14 catalogued, suitable for Cabinet Office and DfE deployments.

04 · BPSS

Education + qualification credentialing

Direct verification with HESA, OCR, Pearson, AQA, City & Guilds and the major awarding bodies. Apprenticeship-standard credentialing. Removes the ‘CV inflation’ failure mode at offer-acceptance.

05 · Cred

GDPR-compliant retention & deletion

Configurable retention policies per check type. Automated deletion at policy expiry. Subject-access-request workflow for candidates. ICO audit-ready reporting throughout.

How it works

From application to cleared offer, in four steps.

  1. Step 01

    Configure governance

    Senior practitioner configures which checks run for which roles, retention policy, escalation thresholds and adverse-impact alerts. One-time setup per role family.

  2. Step 02

    Trigger at the right stage

    Verification triggered automatically at the right pipeline stage — usually post-offer, sometimes pre-interview for security-cleared roles. Candidate gets a single TalentVerify invite.

  3. Step 03

    Run all checks

    All applicable checks run inside the candidate’s 2-minute session. Manual-review queue for edge cases. Practitioner gets a single combined verification report.

  4. Step 04

    Continuous audit trail

    Every check, every decision, every retention event logged with timestamp and actor. ICO audit-ready; FCA / Cabinet Office reportable on demand.
