Giant Screening can now access PAYE data for over 12 million UK workers using Fast Check

What's new: direct payroll API integration as part of our Fast Check

Konfir have added Work Report™ as a data source to their platform, allowing us to pull data directly from UK&I Payroll, HRIS, and benefits platforms. This development significantly distances the industry from its traditional, slower methods of employment verification. This is a capability that markets like the U.S. have long enjoyed. This industry-leading access offers:

Instant Data: Candidates simply consent, and their data is instantly accessed. No need to remember payroll provider, no need to login.

Higher Coverage: Now covering 50% of UK employees, growing to 80% by the end of 2023

Granularity: More granular data for a comprehensive verification including dates and job title where available

"The things that stands out for me in terms of Giant, Mathew and all the people that we've interacted with are really approachable, really flexible and very customer service centric. It is a managed service, and therefore competitive as well."
