When looking for a screening provider it’s important to ensure that you’re not taking any risks you don’t need to but these are more common than some may think, PayStream’s Candidate Screening service can help to mitigate any onboarding risks whilst also improving the onboarding journey with a simple, visual workflow.


Ikas were a global recruitment business who already had an existing relationship with PayStream’s umbrella company which gave them the confidence to hand over their candidate screening process.

After an initial demo PayStream’ dedicated team of vetting professionals interpreted the needs of Ikas and their clients to ensure the candidates are being screened compliantly.


Since they made the change Ikas couldn’t be happier and we asked a few questions about what role PayStream has played in transforming their onboarding process:

  1. Why did you initially sign up to PayStream’s Candidate Screening Service?

    We were looking for a better more automated screening solution and my experience and our contractors experience with your umbrella company was already very positive which gave me the confidence to handover our screening operation to Paystream.

  2. How has your experience been so far using PayStream’s Candidate Screening service?

    Handing over our screening to Paystream has been easily one of the best business decisions we have made in the last five years, the service is first rate and the relationship we now have with Paystream is invaluable.

  3. Is it easy to get in contact with the Candidate Screening support team when you have a query? Do you receive timely responses to any queries you send?

    It is so easy to contact the candidate screening team, the response time is excellent.

  4. Is it quick to set up new screening profiles and are you satisfied with how quickly the team turn this around for you? 

    New screening profiles are easy to implement and are usually in place within 24 hours of being requested.

  5. Would you recommend PayStream’s Candidate Screening service to other companies? 

    I would happily recommend Paystream to anyone looking for a screening solution. The service is five star and has far exceeded my expectations, I now have a partner in Paystream that understands our needs not only in screening but also contractor payroll.
