What is criminal records checking?
What is included in criminal background checks?
Criminal records checking verifies the candidate background with regards to unspent convictions and conditional cautions, reprimands and final warnings, information help by the police, and whether a candidate is barred from performing a certain type of job.
How to get a criminal background check?
Criminal records are a matter of public record, which means that anyone can get access to them. There are different ways to do this, and the process will vary depending on what you're looking for. You can use private companies that specialize in background checks for employment purposes. Some companies offer criminal records as part of their services.
How long does a criminal background check take?
Criminal background checks can take up to a few days to complete. But, with advancements in technology, it is possible for companies to process background checks quickly and efficiently.
Criminal background checks are generally fast, especially when they are conducted on the National Criminal Database. This database is publicly available and can be searched without any issue. The time it takes to conduct a criminal background check varies depending on the database that is being searched and the severity of the crime committed.
How far back does criminal background check go?
Background checks typically cover seven years of your background including criminal and court records but can go back further depending on compliance law, which is determined by the type of search you're performing.
Background Check FAQ's
What background check do I need?
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Why should employers check the background of potential employees?
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
How long do background checks take?
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
Can you do a background check online?
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
What are the benefits of a background check?
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
What does a background check show?
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
