ProcessHow Datapoint helps
A defined path from decision to evidence.
Datapoint shapes each screening request around the role, the trust it carries and how the hiring team needs to receive the result.
Every workforce check involves an individual, so screening is consent-led. The candidate is told the purpose and scope before any personal check proceeds.
- 01
Define the role and screening level
Agree which checks the role justifies, from identity-only screening to enhanced checks for senior or regulated positions.
- 02
Obtain candidate consent
The candidate receives a secure journey explaining the purpose and scope and gives consent before checks begin.
- 03
Verify history and credentials
Identity, employment, education, licence, reference and clearance evidence is checked with available sources, institutions and referees.
- 04
Review and report to the hiring team
Each claim is marked verified, declined or inconclusive, and the report and evidence record are delivered to the employer or agency.
VerificationEvidence layers & outputs
Connect relevant evidence. Understand the outcome.
Datapoint combines the layers a role requires. Results are delivered per candidate as a screening report, or across a hiring pipeline as a consolidated view.

FAQWorkforce & Recruitment
Frequently asked questions
Depending on the role and the candidate's consent, screening can include identity, right-to-work evidence, employment history, education, professional licences, references and police clearance. Each check depends on source access and responses.
Usually not. Candidates can complete consent, information and document steps through a secure remote journey. Address confirmation or in-person reference visits are added only where the role requires them.
Where the previous employer, institution or referee can be contacted and responds, the declared details are compared with their response. Non-responses and limitations are recorded rather than treated as confirmation.
Revalidation can be configured where it is lawful, appropriate to the role and supported by the relevant sources, with the employee informed of the scope.
