Superior employee checking service

Background checking is not just a routine step in the hiring process; it’s a strategic HR tool to make better hiring decisions. Not only is it critical that applicants are qualified for the role, but also that the employer conducts the right checks to meet compliance requirements. And of course, inefficient employee background checking damages the recruitment experience.

Our background checking service changes all of that. We provide exceptional processes and technology to mitigate risk, cut turnover costs, and meet regulatory demands.

Enhance the experience for applicants and HR teams with our integrated solution

Traditional talent acquisition practices, background checks, and onboarding processes often suffer from slow turnaround times, manual tasks, and fragmented systems. This leads to delays, increased costs, and an inferior experience for the applicants. Beyond comprehensive background checks, Zellis revolutionises hiring with a seamless integration of recruitment, background checks, and onboarding. The applicant data flows effortlessly across the entire recruitment cycle allowing efficient data creation, control groups, and recurring checks. Additionally, MyView, our self-service app and web platform, empowers applicants to view and complete onboarding tasks independently.
