Right To Work Checker vs Rightcheck

Right To Work Checker is a web and API service that checks UK right to work and right to rent share codes. It runs the corresponding gov.uk check and returns an answer as JSON, including the outcome, dates, conditions, applicant photo, and a gov.uk PDF. The right to work check is intended for employers, recruitment agencies, and platforms hiring in the UK. The right to rent check is for landlords and letting agents in England and applies to every adult tenant. The home page offers two live checks daily without an account; the Free plan includes 10 live checks a month and stops at that limit. Pro costs £14/month for 100 live checks, then £0.25 per check. Asynchronous checks can post signed results to a callback URL on every plan, including sandbox. Documentation provides cURL, Node.js, and Python examples, and says Node.js needs no SDK. Live inputs and gov.uk pages are retained for up to seven days to investigate failed or disputed checks, then deleted automatically. The service says it is not affiliated with HM Government, the Home Office, or gov.uk.

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.
