# Who is Right Person  and what do you offer?


At Right Person, we have one clear goal: To make background checks as efficient, safe, and simple as possible for both customer and candidates.

Many organizations have previously avoided background checks, often because the process has been time-consuming, manual, and difficult to manage in practice. But the consequences of a poor hiring decision can be significant both financially and in terms of trust.

That’s why we’ve created a digital solution that makes it easy to collect, verify, and document the necessary information before making a hiring decision.  
Everything is done in a structured, secure, and compliant way and we follow the process from the initial invitation to the final report.


## What do we offer?

Right Person provides digital background checks that:

* Verify information about identity, education, and work experience  
* Are conducted in a structured and fair way, respecting the candidate’s rights  
* Contribute to safer hiring and documented processes  
* Ensure compliance with legal and internal requirements  

We offer both predefined background check packages and custom configurations tailored to your hiring needs.


## Who uses Right Person?

Our services are used by a wide range of organizations, including:

1. **Public agencies and authorities**  
  When security assessments or documentation are required.  
2. **Private companies**  
  That want to ensure the right hire in roles involving trust, responsibility, or access to sensitive data.  
3. **Recruitment and staffing agencies**  
  That need fast and structured checks before placing or recommending candidates.  
4. **Organizations requiring a police certificate**  
  For example, in healthcare, education, or volunteer work, where background checks are required by law or contract.  

We support both large organizations and small businesses, from one-time needs to high-volume processes.



## What is our role?

Right Person is an independent verification provider. We:

* Verify the information the client wants to check  
* Follow clear procedures and only check what is relevant  
* Ensure the candidate is informed and gives consent before anything happens  

> We never evaluate whether someone is “suitable” for a role,  that is the customer responsibility.

The customer is also the **data controller** for the background check. This means the client is responsible for:

* Assessing whether there is a legitimate need for the check  
* Documenting the legal basis before ordering  
* Ensuring the checkpoints are relevant to the role  

Our role is to make the process predictable and fair, with respect for both parties.



## Is it legal?

Yes. Background checks are permitted as long as:

* There is a **legitimate need** related to the role  
* There is a **legal basis**, such as consent  
* There is a **clear scope** of what is being checked  

Right Person ensures that the entire process is carried out in accordance with GDPR and other applicable laws.
