Frequently asked questions
What is Safehire.ai?
chevron down icon

Safehire.ai provides Digital Risk Screening for high-trust access decisions.

We search relevant surface, deep and dark web sources to identify digital exposure signals that traditional background checks, references and basic online searches may miss. AI supports discovery at scale, and human analysts validate flagged findings before a report is released.

The result is clear, evidence-led reporting that helps organisations make safer, more defensible decisions.

What is Regulated Activity – and Why It Matters?
chevron down icon

Regulated activity is work the law treats as especially sensitive because it involves significant trust, responsibility, or access to children, vulnerable adults, or people in regulated settings.

It can apply across sectors such as education, care, healthcare, sport, charities, and community organisations. Depending on the role, this may include teaching, caring, supervising, transporting, training, or providing regular support.

People barred from regulated activity must not carry out that work. That is why organisations need more than a basic check, they need evidence that someone is suitable for the access and responsibility the role gives them.

How does Safehire.ai work?

Safehire.ai works through a structured Digital Risk Screening process:

1. Create an account: We check that you are a bona fide organisation.
2. Request a search: You provide the candidate’s core identifiers and confirm the screening basis.
3. AI-enabled discovery: The platform searches relevant surface, deep and dark web sources for signals within the agreed scope.
4. Analyst validation: Flagged results are reviewed and contextualised by a human analyst.
5. Structured report: You receive a clear Green Flag or Red Flag report, with evidence, context and guidance for proportionate next steps.

Reports can be delivered in as little as 24 hours, depending on the plan and priority level.

Why do we need Safehire.ai if we already conduct DBS checks?

DBS and police checks are important, but they show recorded history. They do not show every emerging, undisclosed or online risk signal.

Safehire.ai adds Digital Risk Screening: structured visibility into relevant surface, deep and dark web signals that traditional checks were not designed to find.

It sits alongside DBS, references and interviews so safeguarding and access decisions are made with a fuller evidence base.

What information do we need to provide to run a Safehire.ai check?
chevron down icon

We only require core identifiers to run a Digital Risk Screening check.

Typically this includes:

- Full name
- Email address
- Telephone number
- Residential address

Your organisation should also ensure the candidate has been informed and that the check is being run on a lawful, proportionate basis.

What is the name of the whale?

🐋 The whale is called Echo.

Echo is the name we use for our AI-enabled search engine. It helps connect relevant identifiers across hard-to-reach parts of the internet, so analysts can review potential signals in context before anything is reported.

How can we trust the findings are reliable?

Safehire.ai is designed to complement traditional checks, not replace them.

DBS and police checks show recorded history. Digital Risk Screening adds visibility into relevant online exposure signals that may not appear in those checks, including surface, deep and dark web indicators. Findings are structured, evidenced and validated so decision-makers can understand what was found, why it matters and what action may be proportionate.
