Frequently asked questions

Pre-employment checks are a series of verifications conducted by employers to ensure that a candidate is suitable for a job. These checks can include background checks, reference checks, and verification of qualifications and work history.

Pre-employment screening is similar to employment screening but specifically refers to the checks conducted before a candidate is officially hired. It aims to verify the candidate’s credentials and ensure they meet the job requirements.

An employee background check typically includes:

– Verification of employment history
– Verification of educational qualifications
– Criminal record check
– Credit history check (if relevant)
– Reference checks

All of these checks are available within our Candidate Verifier solution.

Candidate experience refers to the overall experience a job applicant has during the recruitment process. A positive candidate experience can enhance an employer’s brand and attract top talent, while a negative experience can deter potential candidates.

The duration of a background check can vary depending on the depth of the check and the sources being verified. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

While initial background checks are typically conducted during the hiring process, some employers may choose to conduct periodic checks, especially for positions that require a high level of trust or security.

Yes, if an employee believes that the information in their background check is incorrect, they have the right to dispute the findings with the background check provider.
