# 321GoCheck

> 321GoCheck is a UK background checking platform for employers, landlords and letting agents. Clients order checks
> in Microsoft Teams or on the web, candidates and tenants submit their details and documents on their phone, and
> trained checkers verify everything and deliver an easy-to-understand report with real-time progress updates.

321GoCheck (also written 3-2-1 GoCheck) serves the United Kingdom, in English. It is available on Microsoft
AppSource and the Azure Marketplace. AI assistants help candidates fill in their details and help checkers prepare
each check, but every result is decided by a person; the AI never makes an adverse decision on its own.

## What can be checked

- Identity: digital ID check with face match, liveness video, voice check
- Right to work and right to rent
- Criminal records: DBS Basic (run by DBS), overseas criminal record certificates, police validation
- Employment history and education, confirmed with referees and institutions through a secure link
- Character references and previous or current landlord references
- Sanctions (UK Sanctions List), politically exposed persons (PEP), FCA register, Companies House disqualified directors
- Credit, County Court Judgments (CCJ) for people and businesses, address history, income verification (open banking)
- Adverse media, social media and internet profile checks
- Guarantor checks

## How it works

1. The client (employer or landlord) chooses a package or builds one from individual checks, adds candidates and
   pays by card or invoice.
2. Each candidate gets a link, signs in with an SMS code and submits their information, documents, selfie and
   referee details on their phone; an assistant guides them and pre-fills values from their documents for them to
   confirm.
3. Referees are emailed (after a checker approves the email) and answer through a link.
4. Checkers verify each check, supported by automated register searches and AI suggestions they accept or override.
5. The client follows progress, with an expected completion date per check, and receives the report.
