Q: Who are Konfir? Can I find out more information about them and their process?

A: Konfir are a platform who specialise in providing instant employment and income verifications to UK-based workers. They are the preferred supplier and have engaged with Referoo to carry out these checks on their behalf. For more information, please watch this Candidate video – there is also a link to help answer any additional queries at their Help Centre.
​

Q: Why can’t the checks be completed via contacting previous employers or via a document-based verification?

A: This approach is a more efficient and secure method of confirming your employment history.

Q: Why do the checks ask me for data sources such as my bank and bank account and how safe is it to share these details?

A: The purpose of the checks is to provide a complete and instant employment history check. Your data cannot be accessed by anyone and is protected securely under UK Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework and ISO 27001.

Q: Do I have a choice on what data source to provide this information?

A: Yes – you can connect to your data via HMRC instead.
