If you use Shiftie to manage your shifts, rotas, and hourly workforce, you already know how fast hiring moves in shift-based businesses. A new starter confirmed on Friday needs to be on the floor by Monday. The last thing you want is a manual back-and-forth getting background checks done before they start.
That's why we built the InfoVetted integration for Shiftie.
What the integration does
Once connected, you can trigger a background check for any new hire directly from your InfoVetted dashboard — without re-entering candidate details you already have in Shiftie. Checks run in the background, results come back to your InfoVetted dashboard, and you've got a documented record of every check you've run.
No spreadsheets. No chasing candidates for documents via email. No switching between five different systems.
Which checks can you run?
From InfoVetted you can run any combination of:
- DBS Basic, Standard or Enhanced — the standard for customer-facing and regulated roles
- Right to Work — verify eligibility to work in the UK before day one
- Identity Verification — digital ID check with document and facial match
- Address History — 5-year address trace
- Credit History — relevant for finance-handling roles
- Adverse Media — open-source media screening
- Work History — 5-year employment verification
For most shift-based businesses, a DBS Basic + Right to Work combination is the standard starting point.
How to set it up (2 minutes)
Setting up the integration is straightforward:
- Create a free InfoVetted account — no credit card required, no monthly commitment on Pay as You Go
- Go to Integrations in your InfoVetted dashboard
- Select Shiftie and follow the connection steps
- Upgrade to Check Lite (£6/month) to activate the sync
- Run your first check — select a candidate, choose your screening package, send the invite
Your candidate receives a branded invitation to the InfoVetted portal, completes their details online, and results come back to your dashboard — typically the same working day for standard checks.
Why bother integrating rather than doing it manually?
Manual background checks have two problems: they slow down hiring, and they create compliance gaps.
When checks are manual, they often get started late (after the offer letter, sometimes after the start date), the evidence trail lives in someone's inbox, and there's no consistent process. If you're ever audited — by the Home Office on Right to Work, or by an industry regulator — fragmented records are a problem.
With InfoVetted connected to Shiftie, every check is timestamped, documented, and retrievable. You have a clear record of what was checked, when, and what the result was. That's the kind of audit trail that protects you.
What does it cost?
InfoVetted has no subscription required to get started. You sign up on Pay as You Go (£0/month) and pay only when you run a check. Per-check pricing is available inside your dashboard.
To activate the Shiftie integration, you need Check Lite at £6/month. That's it — no per-seat fees, no minimum volumes.
