Compliance

Candidate evidence, without hidden gaps.

Recruitment records should distinguish completed evidence from outstanding work. OptiMatch shows the information recorded for each candidate so employers can make a role-specific onboarding decision.

DBS status

DBS information and any supporting evidence are recorded per candidate, with outstanding or role-specific checks kept visible.

Right-to-work evidence

Relevant identity and eligibility evidence is recorded for review. Employers retain responsibility for their own lawful onboarding decision.

Reference progress

Reference requests, responses and verification status are tracked instead of being described as complete by default.

Privacy controls

Candidate information is handled through controlled access and shared for recruitment purposes in line with the consent recorded.

Training evidence

Role-relevant certificates and dates can be recorded, with expiry or missing evidence shown as an outstanding item.

Role-specific review

For regulated or clinical roles, professional registration and competency evidence must be reviewed for the individual vacancy.

Recruitment process

Seven evidence stages, shown honestly.

The record should show what has been supplied, what has been reviewed and what remains outstanding. It does not replace the employer's own regulatory or onboarding responsibilities.

  1. 01DBS / PVG status and supporting evidence recorded where relevant
  2. 02Professional registration status recorded where applicable
  3. 03Right-to-work evidence reviewed for progression
  4. 04Reference requests and outcomes tracked
  5. 05Role-relevant training evidence recorded
  6. 06Outstanding items made visible
  7. 07Structured candidate discussion recorded

Compliance resources

Documents for procurement, audit and onboarding.

These resources remain subject to internal or legal review. A request starts a discussion; it does not promise that an unapproved document will be sent.
