CheckWorkRights vs WPC RightToWork

CheckWorkRights automates employment entitlement and verification checks for employers in Australia and New Zealand. It covers VEVO, document verification, references, RSA, bankruptcy, and employee credentials; Australian VEVO checks determine entitlement to work in Australia. The service targets HR operations, talent acquisition, compliance, and legal teams, particularly at large employers with high-volume hiring. Candidates complete checks through the mobile-friendly MyCheck portal without logging in. CheckIntelligence uses job role and location to identify relevant checks, licences, and qualifications, then tracks renewals and expiries over the employee lifecycle. Available platforms include Android, iOS, web, and API. Integrations include Dayforce, SmartRecruiters, Workday, PageUp, and Paradox, with custom connectivity through REST API, webhooks, or file transfers. CheckWorkRights states that it is SOC 2 compliant, encrypts data in transit and at rest, and hosts its applications and API services on AWS in Sydney without storing data outside Australia. Pricing is by commercial agreement and available on request; a demo is offered at no obligation.

WPC RightToWork automates UK right-to-work checks for job applicants through separate employer and candidate apps on Android and iOS. The maker says AI verifies document authenticity against official government databases, while biometric facial recognition confirms the document holder’s identity. Results are advertised in five minutes, subject to candidate turnaround time. Employers can monitor employees’ status, receive updates, get expiry reminders, and keep digital records accessible for audits and inspections. WPC describes integration with government databases but names no HRIS or ATS integrations. It says AWS hosts the service and cryptographic protections secure data in transit and, where appropriate, while its security approach addresses applicable UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018 obligations. WPC states that it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorised by a government entity, and employers remain responsible for statutory duties. Pricing starts at £10, paid once for one check valid for a year; annual plans cover 20, 100, or 300 checks.
