Screening involves checking an applicant’s background to confirm they are who they say they are, that they have the qualifications and experience they claim to have, and that they are legally allowed to work in the UK. Screening can also include credit history checks as well as personal and professional references, so you can better understand their strengths, weaknesses and character.  

The aim of screening for a position is to help you find the perfect candidate so you can engage with confidence. Background checks are also important for re-screening existing individuals that you have engaged with, so you can be confident they are still suitable for their position as their circumstances and their position changes. Our pre-engagement checks help you conduct this crucial vetting much more quickly, simply and cost-effectively than manual processes, which are time consuming.

Pre-employment checks help you work out whether a job applicant is the most suitable candidate for a particular role and that they have all the necessary qualifications and skills to do the job well. These checks not only verify whether a candidate has told the truth on their CV, they can fill in gaps and give you a deeper sense of whether they are trustworthy and reliable. Pre-employment checks also help you confirm whether they are physically capable of the work without conflict and that they are legally allowed to work in the UK.
