What is a
pre-employment
background check?
Pre-employment background checks help employers verify key candidate information before hiring. These checks may include identity, criminal records, employment history, education or financial integrity, depending on the role and level of risk. Additional screenings, such as reference or medical checks, may also be conducted. In regulated sectors such as banking, education, healthcare, or transport, certain checks are legally required.
What is an
in-employment
background check?
In-employment screening reviews the backgrounds of current employees to maintain a high level of trust, compliance and risk control. Because even the most reliable employees may experience personal changes over time. These checks help organisations ensure the ongoing integrity and reliability of employees, particularly in sensitive roles, and protect the company’s reputation.
