Introducing VettingGateway for Pass Applications at Heathrow Airport
Heathrow Airport and VettingGateway are working together to improve background screening processes for Airside ID applications within the airport. Sponsor companies have a great opportunity to improve right-first-time rates and reduce rejections.
Reducing pass application rejections - together
Heathrow Airport is partnering with VettingGateway to streamline background screening. The goal is to simplify the process of applying for an airside pass, transforming what can often be a time consuming and complex task into a more automated and compliant experience. VettingGateway optimises and automates much of the background screening process, which means you can complete your checks faster, using less resources, and with a higher success rate. You will also be able to automatically send the applicant data and documents straight to AirportGateway and complete at least 80% of each application, automatically.
Automate Your Screening
By simply inviting a candidate, VettingGateway gathers their full five-year career history, automatically requests references, CRCs, and GSAT training in one click, and follows up with referees until every response is returned.
Get It Right First Time
Our airport-approved templates ensure consistency, speed up processing, and boost approval rates—no more back-and-forth emails or missing questions.
