Pre-Employment Screening

Before starting a new job, many employers require pre-employment screening, often involving comprehensive background checks, to ensure candidates meet their criteria. Conducting thorough employee background checks is a crucial step in this process. In order to get employment, applicants may be evasive or choose to conceal certain information. They might also make false or unsubstantiated claims, aspects that employee background checks can help uncover. You might see unexplained gaps in employment history or a lack of paperwork. All of these are bound to make you concerned about your applicant’s integrity or reliability.
For these reasons, we offer standard and bespoke packages of pre-employment screening services. As part of this, if we discover any negative or business-critical issues during employee background checks, we will immediately advise you. Available in 5 or 10 year employment history screening options, pre-employment screening comes in three forms: standard, premium (also includes **verifications), and bespoke. These background checks are crucial in maintaining the reliability of your workforce. See our blog on essential background checks.
