Case Study: Scottish Government achieves 4x faster staff vetting with Amiqus

Scottish Government cuts staff vetting time by 80% with Amiqus

The Scottish Government faced a significant challenge with a pre-employment vetting process that was manual, time-consuming, and took up to several months to complete. Their resourcing team was burdened with managing hundreds of candidates, relying on postal services for sensitive documents, and dealing with extensive email correspondence. Amiqus was selected through the CivTech accelerator to address this issue.

Amiqus implemented its software to create a secure, online process for staff vetting. This solution drastically reduced the pre-employment processing time by 80%, from 5.5 weeks to just 7 days. Candidates can now provide their information within 24 hours and receive a start date offer just two days later. The project was so successful that Amiqus was selected to support the Scottish Government's pre-employment checks for a two-year period.
