Product

One platform.
Screen, verify, onboard.
Run by you.

Yezda is self-serve pre-employment screening and workforce compliance software. A web portal for your team, a mobile app for candidates, payroll onboarding, and an open API to plug it all into your stack — no bureau in the middle.

How it works

Three steps. The platform
does the heavy lifting.

01

Invite your candidate

From your portal, invite a candidate — name, email and the screening type the role needs. The platform sends the link and starts the workflow automatically. No queue, no quote.

02

The platform runs the checks

Identity, 5-year address, work history, references, credit, AML and criminal disclosure — collected, chased and gap-detected automatically. You just review what's flagged.

03

Sign off and issue the certificate

Your team applies the final review — with optional four-eyes sign-off — and issues an audit-ready, branded PDF certificate with a public verification ID an auditor can check in seconds.

Customisation

Make the portal feel like yours.

Pick a colour theme and the whole portal changes with it: colours, typeface, corners, in light or dark. Each person on your team chooses their own, and it’s there the next time they sign in. Try it here.

  • Light, dark, or follow your computer
  • Applies instantly, with no flash on load
  • Text contrast checked in every theme and mode
Desktop app

Yezda on your desktop, a click away.

Install the portal as an app on Mac, Windows or ChromeOS in a few seconds. No download to approve, no IT ticket.

Its own window and iconInstall it from Chrome, Edge or Safari and Yezda sits in your Dock or taskbar like any other app.

Opens where you left offA launch screen while it starts, and clicking the icon again brings your window back instead of reloading it.

Security & data handling

Personal data,
handled like it matters.

Passports, credit files, criminal disclosure, references — the most sensitive evidence a candidate has. We treat every byte like it could be ours.

01
UK-only data residency
All evidence stored in eu-west-2 (London). No cross-border transfer without explicit consent.
02
Encryption at rest + in transit
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, document-level keys rotated every 30 days.
03
Per-check consent + revocation
Every check is opt-in, revocable, and logged in an immutable audit trail.
04
Redaction-aware reporting
Org reports show outcomes, not source documents. Auditors see what they need — nothing more.
05
Retention with purpose
Evidence purged 7 years after certificate issuance, per BS7858 retention guidance.
06
AI that never sees personal details
Documents are read on our side and every name, address and ID number is swapped for a placeholder before Yezda AI sees anything. Files never reach the AI.
07
Penetration tested
External pentest annually. Bug bounty in place via HackerOne (private).
