Seeking employment references have long been a troublesome for employers, on-boarding teams and the wider employment screening industry. Employers have adopted a name, position, and employee number approach to employment references, and only confirm dates of employment and position to avoid any legal action.
Employment references must be accurate and must not be misleading and include irrelevant personal information. It is against the law for information known as 'protected characteristics' – to be used, whether providing, requesting, or checking references. Age, disability, race and gender reassignment are some of the protected characteristics. However, there are some exceptions for example when a protected characteristic is crucial to do a job.
It is a legal requirement to provide a regulatory reference under SMCR (Senior Managers & Certification Regime). This applies to the regulatory reference receiving firm when the candidate worked there within the previous six years of the request, and when the requesting firm is considering appointing the candidate to a senior manager, non-executive (NED) or certification role. Regulatory references are out of scope for this particular product. It is also out of scope for references under Airside Passes, BS7858 and BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard).
Our employment reference product raises some thinking for regulators and policymakers to understand how to use new technology within the background screening frameworks. Only with this understanding, which needs to be grounded in business reality rather than theory, can regulators and policymakers properly take account of the impact they have on innovators.
Let’s look at how employment references are requested and given.
There are a lot of companies in the market claiming to make the employment reference process lightening fast. However, these material materials do not live up to one’s expectations. We are all well acquainted what happened at British Airways and EasyJet. 3000 new recruits were stuck in the reference process that were taking up to four months.
Another problem for the commercially available software for employment reference is that they are unbale to analyse employment history gaps.
Complygate employment reference product is powered by Open Banking which connects banks and building societies, third parties and technical providers – enabling them to simply and securely exchange data.
Open Banking is used to acquire salary data of the applicant and the Industry leading reliable salary market data is used to cross reference it against the position they have been working on. Employment references up to 7 years can be validated within seconds.

Open banking is a secure way for customers to take control of their financial data and share it securely with organisations other than their bank.
By sharing this data with authorised third parties, customers can access services that help them make more of their money. This could mean access to smart savings apps, finding better mortgage rates or accessing credit. Businesses can also use open banking – for example, to manage cash flow or make it easier to receive payments.
The Open Banking Implementation Entity was set up by the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) in September 2016 to fulfil one of the remedies mandated by the CMA following an investigation into competition in UK retail banking. The open banking ecosystem is designed to deliver fairer, more transparent banking and financial services.
Open Banking Implementation Entity (OBIE) were created by the Competition & Markets Authority (CMA) to deliver the Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), data structures and security architectures that power open banking. These frameworks empower developers to build systems that make it easy and safe for customers to share their banking information with third parties like Complygate.
OBIE is funded by the UK’s nine largest current account providers (often called the CMA9) and overseen by the CMA, the Financial Conduct Authority and Her Majesty’s Treasury.
The nine mandated institutions are:
Open banking could boost UK GDP by £1 billion annually (CEBR study into Open Banking, 2018)
The open banking sector could quadruple its worth to generate £7.2bn of revenues by 2022 (PWC: The Future of Banking, 2018)
of financial services companies are investing in open banking products and services (Fintech Futures: Opportunity Knocks – the future of Open Banking, 2018)
