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 associated risk level. 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.
Standard screening programmes
Based on experience from hundreds of customer projects, our recommended screening programmes
provide a reliable starting point for standardised and compliant hiring processes.
