Recruitment agencies are under pressure to move fast, deliver quality, and protect their reputation. That pressure only intensifies when compliance is treated as a separate, manual task.

Speed is valuable. But when screening steps are skipped or delayed, the consequences are real. A candidate with an expired licence. A missed work rights check. A police check completed too late. These are not just one-off mistakes. They are compliance failures that put your client relationships and brand at risk.

What if screening was already part of your recruitment process? What if compliance didn’t require a second system or another follow-up email? This is what integration delivers. Accuracy at speed, without added admin.

What Is ATS Compliance Integration?

ATS compliance integration is the process of embedding essential verification checks into your recruitment workflow. That includes citizenship and work rights (VEVO), police checks, industry licences, training records, and document expiry tracking.

With integration, checks are triggered automatically as candidates progress through your pipeline. You no longer need to rely on manual reminders or separate tools. Every verification is completed at the right time, stored in the right place, and accessible when clients need proof.

Compliance becomes a core part of every placement, not an afterthought.

Don’t wait for a compliance issue to lose a client. Integrate screening into your ATS before risk turns into reputation damage.

The Risk of Fast Placements Without Proper Checks

Clients want roles filled quickly. You want to deliver. But moving fast without compliance checks is a gamble.

Without built-in screening, your agency could:

• Place candidates who are not legally allowed to work

• Miss expired licences or incomplete checks

• Breach contractual obligations with clients

• Be held responsible during audits

• Face penalties or lost business due to non-compliance

One missed VEVO result can cause serious consequences. And when a client is audited, your agency will be under scrutiny. Your process needs to be just as strong as the people you place.

Imagine if background checks and licence verifications were completed automatically when a candidate hits the ‘offer’ stage. That’s not wishful thinking. That’s what integrated compliance makes possible.

What if your recruitment software handled compliance while you focused on placements?

Why Compliance Automation Matters

Agencies manage large volumes of candidates across multiple industries. Manual compliance checks are time-consuming, inconsistent and prone to error.

Key Checks Every Agency Needs to Manage:

• Citizenship and Work Rights Checks

• Reference Checks

• Industry licences, such as white cards, RSA or site tickets

• Police Checks 

• Document expiry alerts and reminders

• Training and eLearning records

Where Manual Processes Break Down:

• Checks happen too late in the process

• Candidates are asked to resubmit documents

• Data is stored in disconnected systems

• Teams lack visibility across roles and compliance statuses

What Integration Delivers:

• Checks are triggered at the right stage of recruitment

• Results sync in real time into the ATS

• Candidate records are centralised, verified and complete

• Clients receive accurate, audit-ready documentation

Agencies using platforms like SmartRecruiters, JobAdder, Bullhorn, FastTrack360 or PageUp can activate WorkPro’s integrations and automate compliance at scale. These connections are live and ready to go, allowing agencies to build compliance into their recruitment flow with no disruption.

With compliance built into your workflow, you never place a candidate you can’t stand behind.
