In many industries, checking certificates of good conduct is an essential part of the application process or the regular screening of job holders. It is still common practice for many employers to ask their applicants or employees to provide police clearance certificates. This is despite the fact that this is only permitted by law in defined exceptional cases. In this case, personal data of applicants or employees are viewed, which may be irrelevant for the employment relationship. This is generally not permitted under data protection law and can lead to high penalties under the GDPR.

With this in mind, BRUTONICS has developed its unique Criminal Record Check (CRC) service, which undertakes police clearance checks for companies. This enables improved protection of the personal data of applicants and employees by not providing employers with information that is not relevant to the employment relationship. The employer only receives information as to whether there are entries in the respective certificate of good conduct that are relevant for the position under consideration.

As a supporting platform, the CRC service uses functionalities of the Personnel Services (PS) module of INTERMEDIARY, which have been designed and developed exclusively for the CRC service. INTERMEDIARY is a SaaS solution developed and operated from scratch by BRUTONICS with servers in Europe, which can be accessed via defined browsers. The CRC processes mapped in INTERMEDIARY are designed to be as lean as possible, but highly flexible, so that individual wishes can also be met.
