Major Screenings

This verification checks whether the candidate has any criminal history, including ongoing court cases, convictions, or charges. It searches through local, state, and national databases. It helps ensure the candidate does not pose a legal or security risk. A clean record is often necessary for roles involving finance, security, or vulnerable populations. The check includes criminal court records, civil litigation, and regulatory cases. Global checks may be included for candidates with international exposure. It may also verify if the person is on any wanted or watch lists. Results are interpreted based on the company’s hiring policies. In some jurisdictions, certain convictions may be sealed or unavailable. Employers should be cautious not to discriminate based on irrelevant or old records. This verification supports workplace safety and compliance. It also protects the organization’s reputation. Legal counsel may be consulted for complex findings.
