CEO MONTHLY / MOST INFLUENTIAL CEO AWARDS 2023 22 CEO MONTHLY / ISSUE 4 2023 29 Mar22259 Smart Tech Supported by Smart People The UK’s leading digital compliance and background check provider for remote and onsite hires, PeopleCheck, benefits not only from its innovative and pioneering software, but also from the proactive nature of its dedicated team members. We talk to David Hutchinson to find out more as he receives a Most Influential CEO Award for his work. PeopleCheck is a scalable background check provider for remote and onsite hires which utilises cutting-edge smart technology, automation & artificial intelligence to support businesses of all sizes and from most sectors. Organisations are able to verify the identity and experience of potential hires quickly and confidently with just a few clicks. With implementation of advanced analytics, employers are able to assess on-going risk in a meaningful way within their businesses. This results in a more secure and efficient hiring process. “For almost two decades, we have been setting the standard and leading the way our industry evolves,” explains company CEO, David Hutchinson. “That is why PeopleCheck can provide you with a quality of service that others cannot. Our professional expertise and the use of smart technology has enabled us to develop a frictionless, intuitive and secure platform.” David continues to tell us that, when PeopleCheck was created in 2003, he made a promise for the company that has remained unbroken: to always act in a smart, compliant, transparent, and meaningful way, with responsiveness, depth of knowledge, and kindness being at the core. “Today, I am extremely proud to say that our ethos remains the same,” he enthuses. “Our processes are transparent, user-friendly and compliant; and through the smart use of technology, we are consistently able to support our clients, their candidates and all our partners in the best possible way. We support thousands of companies to reduce hiring risk, access advanced candidate analytics, and crucially, protect their brand and reputation.” The firm can tailor any scope of check to suit the sectorspecific requirements of its clients. It also has expertise in regulated sectors and supports its clients within the UK and internationally, with its unique selling point being that it consistently delivers outstanding client and candidate support along with operating the best-in-sector digital technology. And there are a myriad of delighted customers, such as Chief People Officer Tracey Knowles of Wirex, who says, “The PeopleCheck team are highly experienced professionals who act as an extension to our People Team. Through the use of their own in-house developed technology, we are able to have access to our background checks real-time allowing us to retain control and maximise efficiency for our team.” As a keen believer that ‘context is core’ and in keeping things simple, meaningful, and effective, David tells us that perhaps the most crucial element for a successful business is responsiveness and depth of knowledge. “I have always valued that if someone calls or emails PeopleCheck then they will speak or communicate with a person who not only understands and is able to deal with the inquiry, but also understand the context of the need for such an inquiry,” he says. “Kind, empowered and knowledgeable employees are an essential part of the business.” And corporate responsibility and good citizenship plays a huge part in PeopleCheck’s internal culture too. Each year, the firm donates part of its revenue to social causes and charitable organisations, both within the UK and around the globe. These are often chosen by employees as being ones that are particularly significant or important to them and David constantly strives to create a positive impact wherever he goes. “A philosophy that I instilled from the beginning of PeopleCheck was: “if someone comes into contact with PeopleCheck but didn’t buy or engage with any of our services, then their experience with us should still result in them being better off!” This refreshing approach is just one reason why David was recently named Most Influential Background Check & Security Screening CEO of the Year 2023 – London. This fantastic accolade is testament to David’s determination and positive attitude, which he enthusiastically passes onto his team members. “It continues to be an exciting and rewarding journey,” he enthuses. “Only possible with the incredible support of our clients and partners and the outstanding commitment and professionalism of our employees.” Regarding the future, David is excited for the huge opportunity for digital growth and innovation within his sector, and where PeopleCheck is positioned in relation to this. We have no doubt that the future is looking very bright indeed! “In 2023 we are providing all our clients with their own Data Rooms within our platform. This will enable them to generate real-time and customisable MI reports and have access to valuable advanced onboarding analytics.” Contact: David Hutchinson Company: PeopleCheck Web: www.peoplecheck.com Feb23471
