What is a
pre-employment
background check?
Pre-employment background checks are an essential part of hiring, helping employers verify key candidate information. These checks may include criminal records, financial integrity and confirmation of past employment and education. Additional screenings, like reference or medical checks, may also be conducted. In regulated sectors such as banking, education, healthcare,
or transport, these checks are often legally required.
What is an
in-employment
background check?
Post-employment screening reviews the backgrounds of current employees to ensure ongoing trust and compliance. Even reliable hires may face issues over time, and regular checks help identify risks early. Customized screenings help maintain high standards, keep your team accountable, and ensure your business continues to be represented by the same trusted professionals you originally brought on board.
