Our background screening services make sure candidates meet every legal and regulatory requirement before they join your team, combining expert consultants with cutting-edge technology to get people onboarded faster.
Staying compliant across multiple industries is important.. Whether you are in a heavily regulated sector or need specific compliance, our solution ensures full adherence to legal standards.
Other screening providers are rigid and dictate how your portal looks and operates. Our solution is customisable. You can fully tailor the screening portal to your brand or EVP requirements, and we adapt our process to accommodate the specific checks you need.
Your HR team is stretched thin. Let your team focus on strategic initiatives while our screening professionals take care of the screening process, freeing up valuable time.
Both your candidates and hiring managers are unsure how checks are progressing because you lack transparency in the screening process. When it is hard to track where candidates are, our real-time data gives you full visibility from start to finish.
Background screening is where compliance either holds firm or quietly slips, and in critical infrastructure the stakes are high. As specialists across Nuclear, Transport, Rail, Energy and Utilities, we pair dedicated vetting consultants with industry-leading technology to clear your candidates quickly and correctly, so hiring stays compliant and your projects start on time.
Cut screening times by up to 80% and keep mobilisation moving when timelines are tight. Across major nuclear programmes including Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C, we’ve reduced screening from 30–40 days to under eight, helping workers get cleared sooner.
Every candidate is supported by a dedicated consultant who guides them through each stage, resolves issues early and keeps cases moving. It’s a hands-on approach built for complex screening environments where delays, missing information or poor communication can quickly impact mobilisation.
We've paired smart technology, clear dashboards with experienced vetting consultants to give you visibility across every stage of screening. You can track progress, identify bottlenecks and receive proactive updates, while our consultants manage the detail behind the scenes to keep your workforce moving.
Screening workflows are tailored to your legal, regulatory and site requirements. From BPSS and LAPEC screening to WIMS management for nuclear projects, our teams provide the governance and control needed to mobilise people confidently in highly regulated and scrutinised environments.
We offer a full range of background checks for employment, including Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) screening and DBS checks. Here is how we verify identity, run compliance checks and confirm history across your workforce.
Background screening rarely gets noticed until it stops a start date. How our advisor-led screening has cleared candidates faster and kept mobilisation on track for critical infrastructure clients.
From powering the UK's energy transition to delivering major transport and utilities projects, we connect exceptional people with organisations shaping the future. Explore our specialist sectors to discover how we support businesses and careers across the UK's most important industries.
Nuclear new build and decommissioning sites demand BPSS as standard, with CTC or SC layered on for higher-access roles.

Rail, rolling stock, and aerospace sites each carry their own access rules, and our screening keeps candidates moving through checks without holding up mobilisation across demanding UK and European transport programmes.
More in Transport
Water and gas sites hold candidates to strict compliance standards before they ever reach the site, and our screening covers treatment, distribution, maintenance, and network roles across both, without slowing recruitment down.

Whether you’re hiring a single specialist or building an entire project team, our flexible workforce solutions are designed to help you attract, engage and retain the talent you need to deliver with confidence.
A pre-employment check confirms that a candidate is who they say they are and is legally cleared for the role before they start. It typically covers identity, Right to Work, and criminal record checks, with further vetting layered on by sector.
BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) clearance is a UK government standard used to verify the identity, right to work, criminal record (basic DBS), and employment history of individuals working in sensitive or secure roles. It is often the entry point for many regulated and high-security roles in the critical infrastructure sector.
Jobs on UK nuclear sites usually require BPSS as a baseline, with higher clearances such as Counter Terrorist Check or Security Check depending on the role and level of access. Sites like Hinkley Point C and Sizewell C apply strict screening to meet government and industry standards.
Rail roles typically require Right to Work, identity verification, employment history checks, and criminal record checks through the DBS. For safety-critical roles, additional medical assessments and industry-specific checks may also apply.
It depends on the checks involved and how responsive candidates and referees are. Our advisor-led process has cut screening from around eight weeks to roughly eight days on average, helping you avoid project delays. More detailed employment screening services, such as verifying work history, qualifications, or international records, can take longer.
Most checks look back 3-7 years, depending on the type of data and the role. Criminal record checks usually cover the past 5-7 years, while employment and education history are often verified back to a candidate’s earliest relevant experience, typically from age 18 onwards. For regulated sectors, such as nuclear or financial services, background screening solutions may include more in-depth checks going back further.
