Credas Right to Work vs Rightcheck

Credas Right to Work provides online and remote checks for employers and recruitment agencies hiring in the UK. It uses real-time facial recognition to compare an identity document with the person completing a check, and lists biometric NFC chip reading and integrated anti-fraud checks. Credas says it connects with the UK Government’s online Right to Work checking system and supports eVisas and online immigration status checks. Checks can be completed in an app or browser, with API options for systems including CRM, case management, learning management, websites, and client onboarding. For checks through a certified Identity Service Provider, the product FAQ says only a current British or Irish passport is accepted. Credas verifies identity as an IDSP; the employer must review the result and determine the individual’s right to work. Pricing is on request, and a free trial is offered without a stated duration. Credas says captured data is encrypted and held on UK-based enterprise cloud servers, and lists ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications.

Rightcheck digitises Right to Work, DBS, and other identity checks for recruitment and HR processes. It supports checks in the UK and Republic of Ireland, including criminal record DBS and Proof of Address checks, using physical documents, digital methods, or share codes. Candidates use an app to submit information and identity documents, with tailored messages and automated reminders to guide them. Recruiters can perform checks in a mobile app, receive approval notifications, and complete mandatory Home Office imposter checks. An HR portal gives organisations visibility into checks and outcomes. The maker says Right to Work checks are often automatically approved in under 60 seconds. Rightcheck integrates with popular HR and ATS platforms, with integration support at no additional cost. It is available on Android, iOS, and web, and includes API access, document capture, status reminders, and an audit trail. Pricing is available on request. The maker says candidate data is encrypted, securely transmitted, and wiped from the recruiter’s device. It also lists GDPR compliance, ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certifications, and approved Home Office IDSP supplier status. Customers receive one-to-one onboarding and training, online support, materials, and tutorials.
