Healthcare hiring is heavily regulated and high-volume. You must verify NMC pins, HCPC registrations, and GMC credentials manually for every candidate, which is time-consuming and error-prone. DBS checks are non-negotiable bottlenecks, and you need to track mandatory training currency - Manual Handling, BLS, Safeguarding - across your workforce. Missing a registration lapse could mean a patient safety risk. CQC compliance, NHS employment check standards, and Fit and Proper Person assessments demand comprehensive background validation. GDPR applies to health data, which is sensitive and requires special handling. You must maintain audit trails proving every hire met regulatory requirements.
Klearskill reads each CV against the skills, certifications and compliance your sector demands, then hands you a ranked shortlist with the reasoning behind every score.

Klearskill extracts and validates NMC pins, HCPC registration numbers, and GMC credentials directly from CVs, cross-checking them against live registers in real-time. Manual verification of registration numbers takes hours and risks missing lapsed registrations. Klearskill eliminates this bottleneck by checking live registers automatically, catching any registrations in suspension or removal status instantly.
The system flags whether candidates mention current Manual Handling, BLS, Safeguarding, and other mandatory certifications, helping you identify who needs retraining before day one. NHS trusts and CQC-registered providers must prove mandatory training currency. Klearskill surfaces training status from CVs so you can plan induction immediately and avoid on-boarding delays.
Automatically categorise candidates by their clinical specialism - A&E, paediatrics, mental health, intensive care - ensuring you match experience to your ward or department needs. A care assistant trained in elderly care isn't the right fit for paediatric roles, and an A&E nurse won't transition to primary care without reorientation. This feature flags the right specialism instantly.
Klearskill flags candidates with prior DBS concerns or employment gaps that may trigger enhanced due diligence, helping you decide who to expedite or investigate further. Identifying red flags early - unexplained gaps, history with care agencies, frequent moves - helps your HR team prioritise enhanced checks before formal DBS, saving weeks of waiting time.
Every screening decision and credential check is logged with timestamps and decision rationale, automatically generating audit evidence for CQC inspections. CQC inspectors expect to see evidence that you've done due diligence on every hire. Klearskill's automated audit trail proves compliance without manual paperwork.
