Candidate screening for recruitment agencies
Agencies place people into security, government, cleaning, hospitality and logistics roles, and every client expects its own standard. Yezda lets you screen each candidate to the right one from a single account: BS7858 for security placements, BPSS for government contracts, and right to work and standard pre-employment checks for everything else.
