Product Update Announcement: Rightcheck Expands Service with Right to Work Ireland Capabilities

Rightcheck is delighted to announce an extension of platform capability for organisations recruiting in the Republic of Ireland to undertake pre-employment Right-to-work checks in accordance with local Irish Government legislation.

Rightcheck pioneered mobile app-based solutions for UK Right to Work checks and is now repeating that success with the first-of-its-kind service in another country.

Bridging the Gap: UK and the Republic of Ireland

Northern Ireland, being a part of the UK, has always fallen under the jurisdiction of the UK Government's Home Office Right to Work legislation. However, the Republic of Ireland (Eire) operates under its own legal framework as an EU member state. Whilst there are similarities to UK legislation, there are important differences underpinning compliance in Republic of Ireland.

Recognising that many UK companies have operations in Republic of Ireland and vice versa, Rightcheck has developed a new category of checks to address the compliance requirements when recruiting in Republic of Ireland . With the release of this new check category, Rightcheck can now support businesses with operations in both the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Ensuring Compliance, Every Time

This new category within Rightcheck incorporates the necessary logic, applicable to Right to Work legislation in Ireland. You can deploy Rightcheck and ensure your recruitment and HR teams are always adhering to the right processes and procedures to deliver the compliance right first time.

Mark Andrews , Rightcheck's Managing Director commented, "This is a great milestone hit on our roadmap demonstrating our intention to expand Rightcheck’s capabilities both within and beyond UK borders. We have developed this new category in direct response to customer demand and had tremendous support from our partners to help us refine functionality to ensure at launch it’s fit for purpose”. 

Supported Documents and Centralised Control

The new Rightcheck category accommodates every type of document a candidate might legitimately offer a recruiter to establish their employment eligibility in Ireland. What’s more, the platform can be configured to enable hiring managers in each respective country (UK or Ireland) to conduct the specific checks they require.

Checks (from both territories) are submitted and processed within the Rightcheck HR portal so that everything can be accessed and controlled centrally by HR. This provides HR with comprehensive oversight of compliance and recruitment activities across both regions.

Get Started with Ireland Checks Rapidly

Rightcheck can be rapidly made available to your hiring managers (based either in the UK and/or Ireland) - within a matter of days should this be required.
