FAQs

What are international background checks?

International background checks verify a candidate’s personal, professional, and legal history across borders. These checks may include international criminal records, employment and education verification, identity confirmation, and right-to-work status. They provide a clear, compliant picture of a candidate's background when hiring across different countries or regions.

Why should background checks be performed on international candidates?

Conducting pre-employment screening on international candidates helps employers validate qualifications, work history, and legal status. As remote and global hiring becomes more common, thorough employee screening ensures the individual is who they claim to be and is eligible to work in the relevant jurisdiction. It also mitigates risks related to fraud, misrepresentation, and compliance issues.

What compliance laws should be considered when conducting global screening for international employees

Employers must comply with regional data protection and privacy laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe and equivalent laws in countries such as Canada, Australia, and the U.S. Consent, data security, and local labour laws must be strictly observed, often requiring in-country expertise.

Are international background checks GDPR compliant?

Yes. Secure Screening Services ensures all international checks are fully GDPR compliant and meet relevant data protection laws in each jurisdiction. We obtain candidate consent and work with trusted global partners to ensure secure handling and processing of personal information across borders.

Why use a third-party screening provider for international employee screening?

Using a specialist screening provider ensures your international checks are accurate, legally compliant, and efficiently handled. Secure Screening Services offers access to a global network of trusted partners—helping your organisation streamline global hiring and reduce risk.

How long do international background checks take?

Turnaround times vary depending on the country and the type of check. Some checks can be completed in a few days, while others may take several weeks due to local regulations and processes.

Can you screen candidates who have lived in multiple countries?

Yes, we can conduct checks across multiple jurisdictions. Our global network ensures we can validate candidates’ histories even when they have lived, studied, or worked in several countries.

Are there countries where background checks are restricted or not possible?

Yes, some countries have strict data privacy laws or political restrictions that limit the availability of certain background checks. We advise on alternative solutions where full checks are not permitted.

How do you ensure compliance with international data protection laws?

We operate under strict GDPR guidelines and comply with local data privacy laws in every jurisdiction. Candidate consent is always obtained, and data is securely processed through trusted global partners.

Can you customise screening packages for different countries or roles?

Absolutely. Using our user-friendly screening portal, you can create bespoke screening packages to match local regulations, role requirements, and your organisational policies.
