Eligible Candidates: Those who do not hold British or Irish citizenship.

Log into the Deploi platform, and add a candidate. When choosing their package, include Right to Work. At this point, you will only know which route the candidate will go down if you have asked about their document previously i.e. at an interview.

Once they have been requested in the system, they will get an email asking them to go through the flow. They will be asked to do a right to work and identity check first, and then will be able to proceed to the BS7858 flow.

You will receive an email once they’ve submitted their right to work check. You can then log into the portal and review it, by opening the ‘Right to Work and Identity Check’ dropdown.

The candidate will have submitted a share code, which is valid for thirty days. You must then go to the government share code checking portal, input the share code and review the resulting PDF. Often the PDF will give the date that the candidate’s right to work will expire. This must be added to the right hand panel before you can confirm that you’ve performed the check and saved the details. This will ensure the check is saved and an audit trail is created.

You can then also view the identity check and confirm that is the person that you are hiring.
