We can assist you in ensuring your supply of labour is legitimate, protecting your flexible workforce and safeguarding your business from any undue financial risk.

We use intelligent software to monitor the legitimacy of documents and identification, as well as a clever alert system which notifies our teams of suspicious activity such as multiple employees living in the same residence or receiving funds into the same bank account. We offer a service to overview and give recommendation in regard to ensuring a robust supply chain.
