Hire by WorkWave Revolutionises Security & Commercial Cleaning Hiring Through Deploi Partnership
Security and commercial cleaning contractors across the U.K. can now onboard staff in under 5 days; Hire by WorkWave integrates AI-powered vetting via Deploi
BRIERLEY HILL, UK – November 18, 2025 – WorkWave®, a leading provider of software and solutions that help mobile service companies thrive, today announces its partnership with Deploi, the AI-powered background checking and onboarding platform. This strategic move embeds Deploi’s compliance automation directly into Hire by WorkWave.
Hire by WorkWave delivers a modern, end-to-end recruitment and onboarding solution built for the specific demands of the security, cleaning, and facilities management sectors in the UK. This new partnership directly addresses the critical challenge of long, complex compliance procedures in the UK. While background checks, such as BS7858, can typically take an industry average of 8–12 weeks for a new employee, Deploi’s AI-driven system can achieve an average clearance time of under 4.5 days.
“The security and commercial cleaning industries are under immense pressure to recruit quickly while upholding the highest standards of compliance,” said Tom Pickersgill, Co-Founder & CEO of Deploi. “When contracts hinge on essential clearances like BS7858 and Right to Work compliance, even small delays can severely disrupt operations and erode client trust. This integration with Hire by WorkWave and Timegate+ ensures that security and cleaning companies can recruit, verify, and deploy staff faster, all within the systems they already use to run their business. It’s about removing bottlenecks and helping the industry scale safely and competitively.
Key Benefits of the Integrated Platform:
- Market-Leading Speed: Customers can accelerate their hiring process dramatically, achieving compliance clearance in approximately 4.5 days, a significant reduction from the industry norm of several weeks. This speed is crucial for preventing candidate drop-off and ensuring rapid deployment.
- Unified Compliance and Workforce Management: The integration embeds Deploi’s AI-driven compliance automation directly into the Hire by WorkWave and Timegate+ ecosystem, enabling customers to initiate, track, and complete BS7858 vetting and Right to Work checks entirely within the platform.
- Digital, Mobile-First Candidate Experience: Deploi automates every part of the background-checking journey—from criminal record and employment history to reference collection—through a streamlined, mobile-first experience.
- Instant Redeployment: Deploi Passport technology provides workers with a verified digital identity and continuous Right to Work monitoring, facilitating the instant redeployment of compliant staff across multiple sites or employers.
- End-to-End Visibility: The unified connection removes friction between recruitment (Hire by WorkWave) and workforce management (Timegate+), providing employers with real-time visibility over every stage of the hiring process, from candidate application through to deployment.
Peter Simmonds, VP & GM, International at WorkWave, adds, “Our customers want a single, connected journey from first touch to first shift. By partnering with Deploi, we are providing them with a modern, automated compliance solution that replaces outdated systems and helps them scale with confidence. This enhanced Hire by WorkWave platform solidifies our position as the leading operational solution for security, cleaning, and facilities management companies across the UK.”
WorkWave and Deploi are committed to expanding the partnership to include shared analytics and AI-powered workforce insights, helping employers to further identify bottlenecks, track service level agreements (SLAs), and forecast readiness with precision.
