Right-to-Work Checks That Do Not Slow UK Recruitment Placements
Most UK recruitment agencies do not fail right-to-work because nobody cares. They fail because the check lives in WhatsApp, email and a spreadsheet that only one consultant understands.
When a start date moves, the passport chase starts again. When a client asks for the audit trail, someone spends Friday reconstructing screenshots. That is not a training problem. It is a systems problem.
What “good” looks like
A useful RTW workflow is boring on purpose:
- Evidence types are clear (share code, visa, passport) with a status everyone can read.
- Renewals for time-limited permission are visible before a placement fails.
- The trail opens in seconds when a client or auditor asks.
It does not need to replace your ATS on day one. It needs to stop compliance living in a side channel.
Where SetsCheck fits
We are building SetsCheck as a configurable RTW and document system for agencies — not a self-serve SaaS box. First clients are onboarding. We will not invent case studies.
