Screenings

Screenings

Deel’s Screenings API helps you verify worker identities and run compliance checks across your global workforce. Whether you’re onboarding contractors in multiple countries, ensuring regulatory compliance, or building custom verification workflows, the Screenings API provides the tools you need to verify identities, check sanctions lists, and maintain audit trails.

Use Cases

Automated Global Onboarding

Scenario: Your company hires remote workers across 50+ countries and needs to verify identities quickly while meeting local compliance requirements.

Solution: Integrate the Screenings API into your onboarding flow to automatically verify worker identities using Veriff’s video-based KYC process. First, check which verification methods are available for the worker’s country and document type, then create a Veriff session that guides the worker through real-time identity verification. Once complete, retrieve the KYC details to confirm verification status before activating the contract.

APIs used:

  • Check available verification methods for the worker’s location
  • Create a Veriff session for automated identity verification
  • Retrieve KYC details to confirm successful verification

Contractor Screening

Scenario: Your finance team requires additional due diligence for contractors to meet AML compliance obligations.

Solution: Build a pre-contract approval workflow that automatically triggers AML screenings for contractors. When a contract exceeds your threshold, use the AML screening endpoint to check the worker against global sanctions lists, PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases, and watchlists. Document the screening results in your compliance system before the legal team approves the contract.

APIs used:

  • Retrieve AML screening results for the worker entity
  • Pull KYC details for complete identity verification data
  • Store results for audit trail and compliance reporting

Multi-Country Compliance Program

Scenario: Your compliance team needs to ensure all workers meet identity verification standards across different regulatory jurisdictions (EU GDPR, US regulations, APAC requirements).

Solution: Create a centralized compliance dashboard that retrieves KYC and AML data for all workers. Monitor verification status by country, identify pending verifications, and track screening expiration dates. Set up automated alerts when verifications need renewal or when AML screenings detect potential risks.

APIs used:

  • Get KYC details for all workers to monitor verification status
  • Retrieve AML screenings to track compliance across entities
  • Check verification methods to understand country-specific requirements
