Industries

Built for the sectors
that depend on who they hire.

Wherever the safety of people, goods or property depends on the people you hire, you need screening you can stand behind. Yezda runs BS7858, BPSS, event staff, right to work and ID, and standard pre-employment screening — yourself, in days, at a price that scales with how much you hire.

SG

Security & manned guarding

SIA-licensed officers, mobile patrols and control rooms.

BS7858 is the screening standard the security industry was written for. SIA-approved contractors and ACS-registered guarding firms are expected to vet every officer to it before deployment — Yezda gives you the full pipeline without standing up a vetting team.

DC

Data centres & colocation

Anyone with physical access to critical hardware.

Colocation and hyperscale operators screen everyone who can reach the floor — engineers, smart-hands, escorts and visitors — to satisfy customer security schedules and standards like PCI DSS. BS7858 is the baseline auditors look for.

CIT

Cash-in-transit & cash management

Crews and vault staff handling high-value assets.

Cash-in-transit and cash-centre roles carry obvious risk, and insurers and banking clients mandate rigorous, documented vetting. BS7858 with credit and AML add-ons is the standard evidence pack — issued and verifiable in days.

CNI

Critical national infrastructure

Energy, water, utilities and secure facilities.

CNI operators and their contractors screen staff with access to sites and systems that the country depends on. BS7858 provides a defensible, repeatable baseline that sits alongside any role-specific national security vetting.

EV

Stadium, events & crowd safety

Stewards and event security at scale, at speed.

Event security peaks around fixtures and festivals, so you onboard large cohorts fast and still need clean files. Conditional clearance lets stewards start while the full BS7858 certificate completes in the background.

StewardsEvent securityCrowd safetyResponse teams

AV

Aviation & airport services

Airside and ground-handling roles with restricted access.

Airside passes and ground-handling contracts demand thorough, auditable employment history and identity checks. BS7858's 5-year reconciled history maps cleanly onto aviation referencing requirements.

FM

Facilities & corporate security

Concierge, FM and security at high-trust workplaces.

Corporate landlords, banks and law firms expect FM and front-of-house staff at their buildings to be screened to BS7858 before they hold keys, access cards or post duties. One platform covers every site in your portfolio.

Telecoms & field engineering

Engineers with access to networks and customer premises.

CL

Cleaning & facilities services

Cleaners and operatives across offices, schools and public buildings.

Cleaning and FM contractors hire at volume across many client sites, and every hire needs a right to work check before day one. Standard pre-employment screening covers identity, right to work and a verified 3-year history; BPSS covers staff placed on government sites.

Hospitality & events staffing

Seasonal, venue and event teams that need to start fast.

Hospitality hires in waves, often days before an event, and is a frequent focus of Home Office illegal-working checks. A right to work and ID check gets each person cleared quickly; event staff screening covers stewards and match-day teams who don't hold an SIA licence.

Logistics & warehousing

Warehouse, driving and depot roles handling high-value goods.

Warehouses and depots handle stock worth stealing and hire heavily for peak season. Standard pre-employment screening checks identity, right to work and a reconciled 3-year history, so you know who is on the floor before they start.

FAQ

The questions we get most.

Software. Yezda is a self-serve platform — you screen your own candidates (BS7858, BPSS, event staff, right to work and ID, and standard pre-employment screening) on a self-serve plan. The platform automates the collection, chasing and gap detection, and your team applies the final review. No per-case quotes, no bureau review queue.
No. Yezda runs BS7858, BPSS, event staff screening (BS7858 without the SIA licence), right to work and ID checks, and standard pre-employment screening for roles in cleaning, hospitality, logistics and recruitment. A social media check you can add to any of them is coming soon. Beyond screening, Yezda checks right to work, sends cleared starters to payroll, and keeps every SIA licence, certificate and right-to-work document in date with expiry alerts and weekly SIA licence monitoring.
Yes, on our top plan. Cleared starters go straight onto Xero or IRIS Staffology payroll through a connector, or Yezda builds a new-starter import file for BrightPay, Sage 50 Payroll, IRIS Payroll, IRIS PAYE-Master or Moneysoft Payroll Manager.
For BS7858, typical turnaround is around 2 working days to a full certificate, and candidates can be conditionally cleared within hours of accepting — enough to start work while the rest completes. Reference response times are the main variable; the platform chases referees automatically and shows live SLA risk on every case.
Candidates use the Yezda mobile app — consent per check, ID capture (IDV), address & work history with gap detection, and real-time chat with your team. No printing, no posting, no awkward emails.
Yes. On our top plan, a signed webhook on every screening change and a REST API let your ATS or HR system invite candidates and receive outcomes automatically — see yezda.co.uk/developers. A Yezda app on Zapier and native Workday, Greenhouse and Lever connectors are coming soon, and every certificate and report also downloads as a PDF.
BS7858 includes self-declaration of unspent convictions. DBS, credit and sanctions checks are available as pay-as-you-go add-ons — you add them to a pipeline only when a role requires them, rather than paying for them on every check.
