Veremark, a global background screening provider, is now available on the Sage UK Marketplace in the Payroll & HR category. The listing gives Sage customers a straightforward way to add background screening to the systems they already use for HR and payroll, with a clear path from offer to verified hire.

Sage’s Marketplace is the first stop for many of its users when extending capability. By being present where HR and Finance teams already work, Veremark makes it simpler to evaluate and adopt screening without introducing new complexity or extra tools to manage.

Veremark’s listing outlines core screening use cases including identity verification, references, employment history and qualification checks, designed for organisations hiring across one or multiple countries. The approach focuses on three outcomes that matter to Sage users: faster time to start, predictable compliance, and a cleaner audit trail.

“Sage customers want hiring that is quick, compliant and easy to evidence. Being present in Marketplace makes it simpler to evaluate screening in a familiar environment and then standardise what works across roles and locations,” said Daniel Callaghan, Veremark.

What Sage customers can expect

  • In-flow screening that reduces handoffs and context switching for HR and Operations
  • Identity-first verification followed by role-relevant checks, with jurisdiction-aware workflows
  • Structured evidence that helps answer client due-diligence requests and audits with confidence
  • Global coverage for teams operating across multiple markets

For candidates, a clearer sequence—identity first, secure document collection, steady communication—reduces drop-off and last-minute surprises. For hiring managers, that translates into more reliable start dates. For leadership, standardised screening creates visibility of progress and issues, and supports a consistent definition of due diligence across the business.

Veremark is currently the only background screening provider listed on the Sage UK Marketplace. For Sage customers exploring screening, the listing provides a single, trusted starting point to review capabilities, understand turnaround expectations and plan a small pilot before wider rollout.

A practical first step is to pilot screening on one role that carries higher risk or client scrutiny. Define the checks that matter for that role, ensure they are proportionate for the hiring location, and agree how results will be reviewed, recorded and retained. Insights from this pilot can then inform a standard for other roles and markets.

FAQs

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.
