Hire people you can trust.
Keep them compliant.
Pre-employment screening and workforce compliance in one platform. Screen to the standard each role needs, verify identity and right to work, send new starters to payroll, and keep every licence and certificate in date — run by your own team, in days, not weeks.
First screening free · no monthly fee · pay per screening
From first invite to the day a licence expires.
Screening is where it starts. Yezda also verifies who people are, hands them to payroll, and keeps your whole workforce compliant for as long as they work for you.

Three steps. The platform does the heavy lifting.
You invite, the platform collects and chases, your team signs off. Nobody waits in a bureau queue for a quote.
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.
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.
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.
The whole screening cycle, in one platform.
Every panel below is a real view in Yezda — for your team, for your candidates, and for anyone who needs to verify a certificate.
Cleared to start within hours.
Typical turnaround is around 2 working days to a full BS7858 certificate — and a candidate can be conditionally cleared within hours of accepting, enough to start work while the rest completes.
See trouble before a start date slips.
Case volume and SLA risk by region over the last fortnight. Filter by region, role, screener or SLA risk — and region-scoped access keeps Liverpool out of London’s pipeline.
They always know how far through.
Your team, right in the app.
Verifiable by anyone.
Every certificate carries a public verification ID. Auditors, hiring teams and third parties confirm it in one click — no account needed.
Verify a certificate →Screening that fits
the role.
BS7858, BPSS, event staff, right to work and ID, and standard pre-employment screening are all ready to run, with IDV and references already wired in. Each is built from the same checks, so you screen every role to the standard it needs.
BS7858
The British Standard for screening individuals working where the safety of people, goods or property is paramount.
The sectors that depend on who they hire.
Wherever the safety of people, goods or property is on the line, screening matters — and Yezda is built to run it, to the standard each role needs.
Teams that stopped chasing paperwork.
Security operations, data centres, cash handling and critical national infrastructure.
We moved 1,400 SIA-licensed officers onto Yezda in a quarter. Our compliance team got their evenings back — and our auditors got cleaner files.
The first time we rotated a data-centre crew, BS7858 was the bottleneck. Now it isn't. The certificate verification page alone has saved us six audits-worth of phone calls.
Candidates actually finish onboarding now. Whatever they've done with the mobile app, it just works — and the in-app chat with our team is the part everyone mentions.
One portal. Every case, every candidate, full control.
Heads of Security and Compliance leads run the whole pipeline themselves — invite candidates, watch every check progress live, and issue certificates without waiting on anyone else.
| Candidate | Standard | Progress | Stage | SLA |
|---|---|---|---|---|
A. Morris Site Officer | BS7858 | Work history | On track | |
D. O'Brien Control Room | BS7858 | References | At risk | |
M. Cooper Cash-in-transit | BS7858 | Credit / AML | On track | |
S. Parker DC Engineer | BS7858 | Certificate | Issued | |
R. Acheson Site Officer | BS7858 | Consent | On track | |

Branded reports and ID cards
Download PDF certificates and full screening reports — your logo, your colours, worded to the standard you screened to. Every cleared person gets a digital ID card, checked live by QR.
Team & region management
Invite recruiters, regional managers and viewers. Region-scoped access keeps Liverpool out of London's pipeline.

New in the portal.
The latest additions to the portal, live for every team on Yezda today.
Find anything in a keystroke.
One search across candidates, your team, employers, referees, licences and documents. Tags narrow it to one kind of record.
Groups, bulk messages and photo albums.
Message one candidate, a group, or a whole intake at once. Send several photos as an album, or a PDF.
See who's online, everywhere.
One live status for candidates and staff, the same in every list, profile and chat.
Every file checked before it opens.
Uploads are held until their real file type and size have been checked. Anything that fails is deleted.
Start the day with what needs you.
The dashboard leads with your action queue: sign-offs, references, gaps to chase. Work it top to bottom.
Two-factor for the whole organisation.
Require 2FA for every member of staff, with 12-character passwords and automatic lockout after repeated failed sign-ins.
They're nervous.
The app shouldn't be.
Most candidates do this once, often before the biggest job of their career. The Yezda mobile app is built around clarity — what we need, why we need it, and how far through they are.
Yezda AI, right inside your dashboard.
The same AI review, assistant and report summary your screeners see on a candidate's file — try them. It reads the documents against what the candidate declared, answers with the page it found the answer on, and drafts the paperwork.

The AI reads the evidence. Never the person.
Candidates upload passports, payslips and bank statements. Before Yezda AI looks at any of it, we read the document ourselves and swap every name, address and ID number for a placeholder. The AI works on placeholders. The real details are put back only inside your account.
- A candidate uploads a document, such as a P60. Yezda reads its text by OCR in its own AWS account; the file itself is never sent to the AI.
- Yezda finds the personal details in the text: the name, address and NI number. The employer and the tax year are kept, because the review needs them.
- Each personal detail is replaced with a placeholder, such as [PERSON_1], [ADDRESS_1] and [NI_NUMBER_1].
- Only the placeholder text goes to the AI, which answers in placeholders.
- Inside Yezda, the placeholders in the answer are turned back into the real details for your screener.
What stays: dates and employer names, because the review needs them to check a candidate's history. Every AI request records how many details were swapped, never the details themselves.
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.
Auditors paste an ID.
They get an answer in a second.
Every Yezda certificate carries a public verification ID. Anyone — auditors, hiring teams, third parties — can confirm authenticity in one click, without an account.
