Candidate Direct
Key Benefits
Reduced Fraud Risk
Government tax authority systems provide one of the most fraud-resistant sources of employment information available to strengthen your verification process either alongside traditional employment verification or standalone.
Near‑Instant Results
Employment information is typically delivered within minutes after your candidate has logged into the official government source, helping you move candidates through hiring and onboarding faster.
Candidate‑Friendly Experience
Reduces the need for contacting candidate’s current employer early in the process.
Offers a simple, mobile‑friendly workflow
Reduces the need for your candidate to provide additional documentation to verify their employment history, especially when employers are unresponsive or no longer in business.
Wide Global Coverage
Currently available in India, Ireland, the UK, Netherlands, Philippines, and Spain, providing consistent, scalable access to trusted employment data across key hiring markets.
Candidate Direct can be used in two ways:
As an additional data point to complement HireRight’s Employment Verification service, providing fast, government‑sourced employment information that gives hiring teams enough confidence to move a candidate forward, for example, allowing them to begin training, while employer checks are still in progress.
As a standalone option for organisations that prioritise speed and have a more flexible risk posture.
In both cases, it helps accelerate hiring by delivering trusted, near‑instant employment insights sourced directly from government tax authority systems.
