If you want to quickly fill roles with the right people then you’ve come to the right place. We can give you the software, data and services you need to carry out pre-employment and existing employee background checks to help you to recruit with confidence.

Whether you want to recruit the best talent, re-screen existing staff or vet potential tenants, our background checking software, data and services help you carry out the best checks for the job.

What is a background check?

If you skip background checks, you can leave your business exposed to potential risk. This might happen because your vetting processes are inefficient, or you believe that screening employees is time consuming or a poor use of valuable resources. Nothing could be further from the truth because these checks protect your business from risks and potential losses.

A background check helps you understand an individual’s background, including their identity, education, employment history, credit history and any relevant criminal record information.  Our background checking tools help you identify inconsistent or adverse information, helping you make fully informed decisions. Background checks are vital when taking on new recruits, re-screening existing employees and finding trustworthy tenants for a property.

Who would use a background check?

Employers in all industries can benefit from using background checks in their recruitment process. It not only helps employers decide on who would be a good fit for their company, but helps to minimise fraud risk, income loss, damage to reputation and so much more, as checks flag up any discrepancies in an individual’s history.

Other Frequently Asked Questions

Background checks are often labour-intensive and admin-heavy and in many organisations are still carried out manually. But our automated tools make the process quick, simple and more accurate. Our software, data and services will help you carry out checks on new recruits, ensuring you hire the right talent for the right job.

It’s also important to carry out regular background checks on existing employees to minimise the risks to your business. Our Bulk Upload tool can help you do this. For some of our customers, this background checking solution has eliminated the need to store and manage employee documents.

Using manual screening processes, background checks can be time-consuming. Different sources of information have to be accessed and verified, and this can consume valuable resources. With our background checking software and tools, some checks can be done at the touch of a button, with results generated instantly.

You can ask a potential employee to do their own basic criminal records check, and this will cost £23. But this is only one part of a background check, and depending on the role, you will need to carry out more comprehensive checks. Our background checks cover a wide range of areas, from identity and credit checks to employment reference checks.
