Candidate receives international job offer comic
Step 01

The offer that crosses borders.

A candidate accepts an international job offer โ€” Senior Software Engineer in Singapore, starting July 2025. New country, new skills, bigger dreams. But before onboarding begins, every detail of their multi-country history must be verified.

Step 02

Education in one country. Employment in another.

The candidate's profile reveals a global footprint โ€” education at Cambridge in the UK, employment at Tech Solutions Inc. in Canada, residence in Toronto. The HR manager asks the question that matters: how do we verify it all?

Step 03

Let's verify every relevant detail.

Global Screening is initiated. Identity, Education, Employment, Records, Address, and Sanctions โ€” six core verification modules are triggered simultaneously. Every relevant detail of the candidate's history is now under review.

Step 04

Different sources. Different regulations. Different methods.

Every country works differently. Our platform taps into localized data sources, government registries, and institutional databases โ€” adapting verification methods and regulations for each jurisdiction automatically. No two countries are treated the same.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about global background screening, cross-border verification, and compliance.

Global background screening is the process of verifying a candidate's identity, education, employment history, criminal records, and address across multiple countries. It ensures that international hires meet compliance standards regardless of where their credentials were issued or where they previously worked.

A comprehensive global background check includes identity verification, employment history verification, education verification, criminal record checks, address verification, and sanctions or watchlist screening. Additional checks like credit history and professional licenses can be added based on role and jurisdiction.

International background checks typically take 3 to 10 business days, depending on the countries involved, the availability of digital records, and local regulatory requirements. Some jurisdictions with manual verification processes may extend turnaround time beyond two weeks.

We use a localized verification approach that taps into country-specific data sources, government registries, educational institutions, and employer databases. Each country has its own regulations, sources, and verification methods, which our platform orchestrates automatically to ensure compliance and accuracy.

Yes. Our screening process is fully compliant with global data privacy regulations including GDPR, CCPA, PIPL, and other regional frameworks. Candidate consent is collected before any check is initiated, and all data is encrypted, stored, and processed in accordance with applicable laws.

We support verification in 180+ countries through a network of authorized data providers, universities, employer outreach teams, and government registries.
