I handed over the request to Secure Screening Services... and had minimal involvement in obtaining certification which allowed for me to concentrate on other matters. The portal was easy to navigate and even the complexities of arranging a check for a French resident, was completed without difficulty by the team. Great communication and great results.

FAQs

Why does the legal sector conduct background screening?

Employee screening helps ensure that professionals in legal and accounting roles possess the necessary qualifications, safeguarding client trust and compliance with industry regulations.

Why should employers carry out social media searches?

Carrying out a social media check can provide employers with a key insight into their candidate’s integrity and professionalism that other checks cannot provide. Screening a candidate’s social media could help to highlight potential concerns or risks that could cause serious implications to a business.

What is an Adverse media & Undercover Journalism check?

An Adverse Media & Undercover Journalism Check is a search for negative media or news about a potential candidate, or whether in fact a candidate is in fact an undercover journalist. The adverse media component can identify and point out potential criminal activity, money laundering, financial crime or terror financing

Can pre-employment screening help prevent financial fraud in Legal & Accounting firms?

Yes, pre-employment screening can significantly reduce the risk of financial fraud by verifying the authenticity of a candidate's qualifications and background. This is crucial in sectors where financial integrity is paramount.

How often should you re-screen your employees?

Depending on the level of check it's advisable to conduct regular re-screening, especially when employees are promoted or assigned to sensitive roles, to ensure ongoing compliance and trustworthiness.

What is a Standard DBS check and who is eligible for one?

A standard DBS check looks into any cautions, spent or unspent convictions, reprimands and warnings and previously stepped-down cautions or convictions. To be eligible for a standard DBS check a candidate must meet the eligibility criteria, please speak to our team for further information.
