Employee background checks by country

Screening runs inside the same process that employs your hire. We order the checks that are lawful where the candidate lives, and the contract only goes out once they clear.

Screening and onboarding are one process, not two vendors.

Most companies buy background checks from one supplier and employment from another, then spend a week reconciling the two. Because we are the legal employer, the check is a step in onboarding rather than a separate project. We collect consent under local privacy law, order only the checks that are permitted for that role in that country, chase the results, and release the contract the moment the file is clean.

Hour 0

You confirm the hire. We collect consent and ID under local privacy rules.

Hour 24

Checks are ordered through in-country providers — only those lawful for the role.

Hour 48

Results reviewed by our team. Contract released and onboarding continues.

Ongoing

Records retained for the local statutory period, then deleted. Audit-ready throughout.
