Managed Safer Recruitment & Onboarding

You choose the candidate. We help handle the onboarding.

Software + AI + Human Verification — £199 + VAT per candidate entering onboarding

Recruiting into health, social care and education means more than finding the right person.

References need obtaining. Employment history needs checking. Gaps need explaining. Right to Work needs completing. DBS requirements need managing. Documents need signing. Evidence needs recording.

YourClouds brings it all together.

Our recruitment technology, AI automation and human safer-recruitment team work together to help manage the journey from initial application through to onboarding and a structured safer recruitment record.

£199 + VAT per candidate entering onboarding

DBS application fees, Right to Work verification fees and other applicable third-party charges are additional.

01The problem

Stop Chasing Recruitment Paperwork

Let YourClouds help do the work.

Traditional recruitment software gives your team a system and expects them to manage everything inside it.

YourClouds is different.

We’ve combined recruitment software, AI automation and human support to reduce the administrative workload involved in safer recruitment.

Your managers can concentrate on selecting the right people. YourClouds helps manage the process around them.

From applications and interviews through to references, employment gaps, Right to Work, DBS processes, contracts and onboarding, everything can be managed through one connected platform.

One Journey. From Applicant to Employee.

  1. Advertise
  2. Apply
  3. Assess
  4. Interview
  5. Select
  6. Offer
  7. Verify
  8. Onboard
  9. HR – Coming Soon

No disconnected spreadsheets. No recruitment information scattered across inboxes. No manually assembling a recruitment file at the end.

One candidate. One journey. One audit trail.

02How it works

  1. 1

    Advertise Jobs Directly From Your Website

    Your jobs. Your organisation. Powered by YourClouds.

    Turn your existing website into your recruitment portal.

    YourClouds can provide a link or integration/API that enables vacancies managed within YourClouds to be displayed through your website.

    • Support Worker

      Oakfield House, Manchester

      Full time · Permanent

    • Team Leader

      North West

      Full time · Permanent

    Candidates can select a vacancy and begin their application online.

    Want to promote a vacancy somewhere else?

    Simply share the vacancy link through:

    • Email
    • Social media
    • Online advertising
    • Recruitment campaigns
    • QR codes
    • Internal communications
    • Referral campaigns

    Candidates are taken directly into your recruitment process.

  2. 2

    Give Every Candidate Their Own Recruitment App

    A better recruitment experience starts with the candidate.

    Candidates can manage their recruitment journey using YourRole, our dedicated candidate app.

    They can also access their account through the desktop portal.

    YourRole candidate app showing an onboarding overview with application and interview completed and employment history, references, DBS, Right to Work and contract still to complete.

    Candidates can:

    • Complete application forms
    • Receive notifications
    • Send and receive messages
    • Book interviews
    • View outstanding actions
    • Provide onboarding information
    • Upload documents
    • Complete forms
    • Review and sign documents
    • Progress through their recruitment journey

    Instead of relying on candidates finding the right email or remembering what they still need to complete, their recruitment journey is available in one place.

    From application to onboarding — in their pocket.

  3. 3

    Safer Recruitment Application Forms

    Start with one of our application templates or build your own.

    YourClouds allows organisations to customise their application forms around their own recruitment requirements while building safer recruitment considerations into the process.

    Different application forms can be created for different:

    • Job roles
    • Services
    • Locations
    • Departments
    • Organisations
    • Candidate types

    Collect the information you actually need without forcing every candidate through exactly the same application.

  4. 4

    Build Your Own Recruitment Journey

    Your recruitment process shouldn’t have to fit your software.

    Configure different recruitment journeys for different roles.

    A straightforward position might require:

    1. Application
    2. Interview
    3. Offer
    4. Onboarding

    A more complex role could require:

    1. Initial Application
    2. Full Application
    3. Screening
    4. First Interview
    5. Second Interview
    6. Conditional Offer
    7. Vetting & Checks
    8. Contract
    9. Onboarding

    Create one or multiple:

    • Application stages
    • Screening stages
    • Assessment stages
    • Interview stages
    • Approval stages
    • Onboarding stages

    YourClouds then guides candidates and your recruitment team through the appropriate process.

  5. 5

    Automated Interview Scheduling

    Stop emailing backwards and forwards trying to find an interview time.

    Your interviewers provide their availability.

    YourClouds can then present suitable appointments to candidates.

    Candidates select an available time and the interview is booked.

    YourRole candidate app showing an interview booked by video call, with options to accept, request another time or cancel.

    Simple.

    Interview scheduling can support:

    • Face-to-face interviews
    • Online interviews
    • Multiple interviewers
    • Interview panels
    • Multiple interview stages
    • Different locations

    Spend less time coordinating diaries and more time interviewing the right candidates.

  6. 6

    Built-In Video Interviews

    Interview candidates without sending them to another platform.

    YourClouds can support integrated video interviewing as part of the candidate’s recruitment journey.

    Candidate details, interview information and recruitment records remain connected rather than being spread between multiple systems.

    Whether the interview takes place in person or online, it remains part of the same recruitment journey.

  7. 7

    Make Your Selection

    You decide who you want to progress.

    Your managers remain responsible for the recruitment decision.

    Once you’ve completed the appropriate selection process and decided which candidate you want to progress, move them into onboarding.

    That’s where our managed onboarding service begins.

Managed Safer Recruitment & Onboarding

£199 + VAT

per candidate entering onboarding

Once a candidate enters onboarding, YourClouds combines technology, AI automation and human support to help manage the next stage of the recruitment journey.

One straightforward service fee.

£199 + VAT per candidate entering onboarding

DBS application charges, Right to Work verification charges and other applicable third-party fees are additional.

  1. 8

    Digital Offers & Contracts

    Move successful candidates into onboarding without starting another manual process.

    YourClouds can issue and manage documents including:

    • Conditional offer letters
    • Offer letters
    • Employment contracts
    • Candidate declarations
    • Policies
    • Agreements
    • Onboarding documentation

    Documents can be completed and digitally signed through the system.

    Where witnessing is required, appropriate documents can also be incorporated into a witnessed signing process.

    The resulting documents remain connected to the candidate’s record.

  2. 9

    Digital Right to Work

    Right to Work checks can be incorporated directly into the onboarding journey.

    Candidates are guided through the required process and the associated evidence can be retained against their recruitment record.

    This helps organisations maintain a clearer and more consistent Right to Work process across their workforce.

    Applicable Right to Work verification charges are additional to the £199 + VAT onboarding service fee.

  3. 10

    DBS Checks

    Manage DBS as part of the same onboarding journey.

    Where the role is eligible for a DBS check, YourClouds can incorporate the appropriate DBS process into onboarding.

    Where appropriate, the system can support checking a candidate’s existing DBS through the DBS Update Service.

    Where a new DBS application is required, the application process can be facilitated for you.

    The relevant DBS information and status can then form part of the candidate’s onboarding record.

    DBS application and other applicable third-party charges are additional to the £199 + VAT onboarding service fee.

    The level and type of DBS check available depends on the role and the activities being undertaken.

  4. 11

    Employment History & Gap Checks

    Don’t let unexplained gaps disappear inside an application form.

    YourClouds helps identify gaps within a candidate’s declared employment and education history.

    Where gaps are identified, candidates can be asked to provide the appropriate explanation and supporting information.

    Our process helps create a clearer chronology of the candidate’s history and records the information gathered as part of their safer recruitment journey.

    Potential inconsistencies or missing information can be identified for further review rather than being buried inside an application.

  5. 12

    We Obtain Your References

    Don’t spend your day chasing referees.

    Reference chasing can be one of the most time-consuming parts of safer recruitment.

    Let us help do it for you.

    YourClouds combines automated communications, AI and human intervention to help obtain the references required by your recruitment process.

    We can:

    • Send reference requests
    • Track outstanding references
    • Automatically send reminders
    • Chase non-responses
    • Identify incomplete information
    • Follow up where necessary
    • Escalate issues requiring attention
    • Maintain the reference audit trail

    Your recruitment team can see progress without having to manually chase every reference themselves.

  6. 13

    References Are Telephone Verified

    Obtaining a reference isn’t necessarily enough.

    As part of our managed safer recruitment service, references can be telephone verified.

    Our team can contact the referee or relevant organisation to help verify the reference and record the outcome.

    Depending on your configured process, verification can include matters such as:

    • Confirmation that the reference was completed
    • Employment dates
    • Position held
    • Reason for leaving
    • Re-employment information
    • Relevant safeguarding questions
    • Additional role-specific questions

    Your organisation can also configure the questions required within its own verification process.

    The verification record becomes part of the candidate’s recruitment audit trail.

Software + AI + Real People

Automation where it works. Human intervention where it matters.

Safer recruitment shouldn’t mean choosing between technology and people.

We use both.

Software

YourClouds manages the workflow, records, documents, actions, permissions and audit trail.

AI

Our AI helps automate repetitive administration, identify outstanding information, support communications, monitor candidate progress and flag matters requiring attention.

Human Team

When something requires a person, our team can step in.

That includes activities such as chasing information and telephone reference verification.

The result?

Technology provides the speed.

AI reduces the administration.

People provide human verification and support.

  1. 14

    A Structured Safer Recruitment Pack

    Once the required recruitment and onboarding process has been completed, the candidate’s information can be brought together into a structured safer recruitment pack.

    Depending on the role and your configured recruitment process, this can include records relating to:

    • Application forms
    • Employment history
    • Employment gap explanations
    • Interview records
    • Recruitment decisions
    • Offer documentation
    • Signed contracts
    • Right to Work
    • DBS processes
    • References
    • Telephone reference verification
    • Candidate declarations
    • Supporting documentation
    • Approvals
    • Recruitment activity and audit history

    Instead of evidence being scattered across emails, spreadsheets, folders and different systems, you have a connected recruitment record.

  2. 15

    From Candidate to Employee

    Recruitment shouldn’t end with another data migration.

    Once a successful candidate completes onboarding, their recruitment information can form part of a connected employee journey as YourClouds HR becomes available.

    That means one connected journey:

    1. Applicant
    2. Candidate
    3. Onboarding
    4. Employee

    Reduce duplicate data entry and maintain continuity between recruitment and employment.
