What is Right to Work Check?

A mandatory verification by UK employers to confirm that a job candidate or employee has legal permission to work in the United Kingdom.

Why it matters in hiring

Right to Work Check comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
