International Background Check Solutions Tailored to your Industry
You have specific requirements that need to be satisfied and vital regulations that govern your industry. HireSafe understands what's required and can help you maintain compliance and employ best practices in your background screening efforts. International criminal background checks require an understanding of each country's court system, how criminal records are created and maintained, where searches should be conducted, the type of available records, and what the documents mean. We at HireSafe provide you with that perspective.
For most employers, an international background check involves verifications of the supplied information, as opposed to an active investigation. In other words, an employer will have already obtained from the applicant the name, addresses, and phone numbers of previous employers or schools. Also, the employer will have obtained locations where an applicant has lived, worked, or studied, which is essential to know where to conduct criminal background searches. The employer does not need to hire an international investigator to locate that information.
A typical international background check will consist of contacting the employers and schools that have been supplied and conducting a criminal check to the extent possible in that country. International screening may also include, if available, a driving record and credit report.
