Compliance Process

When working with FIRE Group, all candidates must submit their Right to Work in the UK. This requirement involves providing an accepted, original document that is currently valid.


To ensure authenticity, we utilise our uComply scanning software, which effectively detects any fraudulent documents. This process serves as a crucial security measure, safeguarding both ourselves and our clients.

    Telephone Screen: We engage in a conversation with potential candidates to verify their information and ensure that they are who they claim to be. 


    If they meet our criteria, we invite them for further assessment. Face to Face: We believe in personally meeting every candidate. No one is added to our database without first having a physical meeting with one of our team members. This can take the form of either a group induction or a one-on-one interview.




  • Compliance Process

    All applicants are required to bring necessary documents for their face-to-face appointment. 


    Our team thoroughly verifies the authenticity of all documents, ensuring they align with the applicant's appearance. 


    Utilising uComply, documents are scanned and cross-checked against the home office database for verification purposes. 


    Expiry dates are automatically logged in our software, prompting the necessary actions as the expiration date approaches. 


    Student Visas – Restricted hours are recorded in our software, and these hours cannot be overridden.
