Background Check

A Background Check involves verifying a candidate’s personal, educational, and employment information before and after they have been hired. In Recruitment and Human Resources, background checks are used to verify employment, education, identity, and criminal records of candidates to assist employers with ensuring a safe and reliable hiring decision.

Furthermore, all background verification must be based upon the above four requirements, as well as be relevant, lawful, and with the candidate’s consent.
