CheckWorkRights is designed to cover the whole of employee lifecycle. If you are using SmartRecruiters for recruitment/hiring and an additional platform for managing employee data and/or rosters, you can use CheckWorkRights to connect both systems and ensure downstream data accuracy.

CheckWorkRights is built to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles. We are SOC 2 certified, and partnered with Nexon, a Crest-certified Australian cybersecurity firm, to run regular system and external penetration tests.
