Confirming the identity of a candidate undergoing screening is fundamental to all verification processes and packages. This step guarantees that subsequent screenings are based on the accurate assumption that the candidate is indeed who they claim to be. Consequently, any error or oversight in verifying the candidate's ID can undermine the integrity of all additional screening checks performed. If the candidate possesses a valid British or Irish passport (or an Irish passport card), we will conduct the right to work check digitally.

Verification of the right to work is mandatory for all candidates before they begin employment. This statutory requirement, enforced by the Home Office, is non-transferable and failure to comply can result in substantial fines and potential criminal charges. If the candidate possesses a valid British or Irish passport (or an Irish passport card), we will conduct the right to work check digitally.

Most organizations focus on two key aspects of an employment reference check: employment verification (confirming dates and roles with previous employers) and substantive referencing (assessing conduct and competence). While many may only address employment verification due to a lack of statutory requirements, we include only the employment verification component in our package. If you require both, please contact us.

The Preempt package features a Basic DBS-level criminal record check for your candidate(s). This check reveals any unspent convictions that candidates may have, which is essential for ensuring safer recruitment practices within your organization. *Please note that this check is applicable only in England and Wales, with additional costs for checks in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or international variations.

We provide employment credit checks at various levels, including standard checks based on five years of address history. Our reports highlight missed payments, defaults, county court judgments (CCJs), and bankruptcies, along with any linked addresses the candidate may have disclosed. Additionally, we can perform further checks using Credit Account Information Sharing (CAIS) data to assess the candidate's full financial history, including current accounts, credit cards, and any debts.

*UK checks only; additional costs apply for international.
