SAFETY
A major reason to conduct background and reference checks is to avoid harm or legal liability of various types to the employer or to others.
This includes harm to:
- Other employees by sexual harassment, workplace bullying or violence.
- The organisation’s customers by, for example, sexual assault on business premises or unlawful information disclosure.
- The public by negligent activity including driving.
- The employer’s business through financial loss or image and reputational issues.
Defense of legal claims, such as negligent hiring, is a compelling reason to conduct in-depth criminal records searches of job applicants. A multilevel jurisdictional search can be strong evidence that the employer exercised due diligence in hiring.

Why should I background check my candidates?
Confirming the identity of people who you are considering employing (pre-employment check), as well as checking their criminal record and credit history, can help you make a more informed hiring decision. A background checking report on your candidates can be important to help you minimise your risk and protect your business.

Screening involves checking an applicant’s background to confirm they are who they say they are, that they have the qualifications and experience they claim to have, and that they are legally allowed to work in the UK. Screening can also include credit history checks as well as personal and professional references, so you can better understand their strengths, weaknesses and character.
The aim of screening for a position is to help you find the perfect candidate so you can engage with confidence. Background checks are also important for re-screening existing individuals that you have engaged with, so you can be confident they are still suitable for their position as their circumstances and their position changes. Our pre-engagement checks help you conduct this crucial vetting much more quickly, simply and cost-effectively than manual processes, which are time consuming.
Pre-employment checks help you work out whether a job applicant is the most suitable candidate for a particular role and that they have all the necessary qualifications and skills to do the job well. These checks not only verify whether a candidate has told the truth on their CV, they can fill in gaps and give you a deeper sense of whether they are trustworthy and reliable. Pre-employment checks also help you confirm whether they are physically capable of the work without conflict and that they are legally allowed to work in the UK.
Checking a job applicant’s background and personal references manually can be extremely time consuming and can significantly add to the time it takes to make a hiring decision. Some employers cannot spare the resources to chase references extensively or do not have the skills to conduct in-depth wholistic assessments. Outsourcing pre employment screening to a third party is therefore a highly efficient and cost-effective solution. Our personal reference checks take no more than 7 days.
As an employer, you need to analyse a wide range of information about a candidate before you decide whether they are perfect for the role. Our background checks provide a detailed history and understanding of an individual’s background, including their identity, education, employment history, credit history and any relevant criminal record information. The results of our background checks allow you to review any inconsistent or adverse information you should be aware of and fill in gaps on a CV before you employ them.
