Why Right Person

Why Norwegian businesses choose Right Person

It's not just about what we check, but how. Here's what actually sets us apart day-to-day.

Credit model without bundle lock-in

You buy credits and use them freely on the checks you actually need. No pre-made bundles that force you to pay for checks you don't use. Need just identity and credit on one candidate, and the full bundle on the next? No problem.

Preliminary report whilst you wait

You get access to a partial report as soon as the quick checks are ready, typically within hours. Then you can continue the recruitment process whilst the rest runs in the background. The complete report is delivered when everything is ready.

Automatic candidate follow-up

You never need to chase the candidate yourself. The system sends invitations, reminders and follow-ups automatically, and you see the status in real time, without hassle.

Full traceability, always

Every check is stored with a complete audit trail, consents and documentation. You have the documentation ready if needed, without having to dig anything up afterwards.

Fast turnaround times

Some checks delivered in minutes, whilst others may take a bit longer due to third parties. With 'preliminary report' you can easily access a temporary report shortly after ordering.

Norwegian support when you need it

Phone, chat and email, in Norwegian, from people who know the product. You'll also find an extensive help centre on the platform. We respond quickly and help you through setup, checks and questions from candidates.

Frequently asked questions

What we hear most often from those who are unsure

Short, honest answers to what people actually wonder about when considering a switch.

Hva er forskjellen på Approof og Right Person?

Approof er den norske aktøren som ligner mest på oss - digitalt, automatisert, med ATS-integrasjoner mot blant annet Workday og SAP SuccessFactors. Forskjellen ligger i prismodellen. Approof publiserer priser fra 1 800 kroner per kandidat, men med et månedsabonnement på 9 000 til 16 000 kroner i tillegg. Hos oss er det ingen bindingstid, intet minstevolum og ingen månedsavgift: du betaler 1 950 kroner for en grunnleggende sjekk, eller 90 kroner for en enkeltstående identitetssjekk, og ingenting de månedene du ikke sjekker noen. Skal du kjøre mange sjekker hver måned, kan et abonnement lønne seg. Skal du ansette noen få ganger i året, betaler du for tilgang du ikke bruker. Tallene er hentet fra Approofs egne publiserte priser i august 2026; si fra hvis noe har endret seg.

Hva er forskjellen på Semac og Right Person?

Semac er den etablerte norske leverandøren og har lang fartstid, særlig i offentlig sektor og sikkerhetsklarering. Right Person er bygget rundt selvbetjening: du registrerer deg selv, ser prisen på forhånd, og kjører første sjekk samme dag uten avtale eller implementeringsprosjekt. Prisene våre er publisert; Semac oppgir ikke pris offentlig. Trenger du en dyp, manuell utredning av en enkeltperson, er et konsulenthus ofte riktig. Skal du kjøre bakgrunnssjekk jevnlig som del av rekrutteringen, er det den flyten vi har bygget for.

We already have a contract with Semac or RefApp. What now?

Register for free, run a check or two, and see for yourself how it works. Most people find they use Right Person more and more naturally, and when the contract with their current provider expires, the transition has already happened. No migration, no overlap period to plan, no cancellation battle.

How much work is it to switch from our current provider?

Less than most people think. You register for free, add your users, and can run your first check within minutes. There's no implementation project, no lengthy technical onboarding and no contract to negotiate. If you use an ATS system we're already integrated with, you connect it when you're ready.

What if we want to switch to another provider later?

Then you do. You own your data, and there's no lock-in period or exit fee. You pay per check, so if you stop using us, you stop paying. We believe you'll stay because the product delivers, not because the contract locks you in.

Does Right Person suit both small and large companies?

Yes. We have customers who run a few checks a year, and customers who run hundreds. The platform scales both ways, and you only pay for what you actually use. Larger teams get access to user roles, department setup and ATS integrations, while smaller teams get started with self-service in minutes.

How do you handle privacy and data security?

Right Person is delivered on an ISO 27001-certified platform, and all data is processed in accordance with GDPR. Consents are obtained digitally and stored with an audit trail, and data is deleted according to retention procedures.
