UK Recruitment E-Signatures for Candidate Onboarding

What electronic signatures do for recruitment workflows

Electronic signatures replace the print-sign-scan loop with a single secure link. Candidates sign from their phone or laptop in minutes, wherever they are, and your consultants see the moment a document is complete.

For a busy agency, that means:

• Faster turnaround. Documents go out and come back signed in hours, not days.
• Fewer chasers. Automated reminders do the nagging so your consultants can get back to placing people.
• A better candidate experience. A slick, mobile-friendly process signals you’re a professional agency.
• Less admin. No printing, scanning, filing or lost attachments.

Compliance you can prove

Recruitment runs on paperwork that has to stand up to scrutiny, from worker agreements to compliance declarations and client terms. A signature is only as valuable as your ability to evidence it.

Secured Signing gives UK agencies auditable workflows: a clear, tamper-evident record of who signed what, when, and how their identity was verified. If a client, auditor or dispute ever calls a document into question, the proof is already there.

Security sits behind every step, with secure document handling and digital signature technology designed to protect sensitive candidate data. That matters when you’re handling personal information under UK GDPR.

What good looks like

A modern candidate onboarding workflow with Secured Signing runs like this:

1. Prepare. Upload your document or template and add signing fields.
2. Send. The candidate receives a secure link by email or text.
3. Sign. They review and sign on any device, with identity checks where you need them.
4. Store. A completed, time-stamped document and audit trail land straight in your records.

No printers, no postage, and no “did you get my email?”
