Background Check

Exaggeration of duties and responsibilities, untrue information or hidden information has become a common practice in the employment market.

A growing demand from companies was observed in the past years and the benefit of conducting effective reference checks thanks to a tailored method has been highly valuable for employers.

Background Check allows companies to secure their recruitment processes by gaining greater insights from their candidates’ qualifications, experiences and attitude in a professional environment.

Background Check is involved in pre-/post- employment periods to manage and oversee background check program and verify the information provided in the CV of potential/newly-hired candidates. The process consists in ensuring the accuracy of information provided in a CV by a candidate who is involved in a recruitment process.
