Background Checks for Software and Tech Companies
Hire with confidence. Protect your people, data and intellectual property with tailored background screening for the Software & Technology sector.
The Veremark interface is really easy to use, and to see accurately where people are in the process
Trusted by 8,000+ companies worldwide
Screening built for technology that never stands still.
Technology businesses need to know that the people they trust with sensitive data, systems and IP are who they say they are.
Projects move fast. Teams change, contractors come and go, and access to systems, data and intellectual property can change overnight. A single check at the point of hire may not be enough to keep up with the way technology businesses operate.
We verify the people joining your workforce, helping you understand who they are, what they've done and whether they're right for the role. Additional checks can be built into your screening package as your requirements, roles and risk environment change.

For roles with ongoing system access or elevated privileges, build rescreening into your package to help keep your people, data and systems protected as requirements change.

candidate experience
The candidate experience now is the difference between night and day. It's so easy to do - a process that works for the candidate as they only have to provide information once. We're now often contacted by people saying 'I've never had an experience like that'.

FAQs
Yes. Screening criteria can be configured as packages of checks. This allows employers to apply different requirements to roles with different responsibilities, such as engineering, finance, customer support or leadership positions.
Yes. Veremark offers identity checks as part of its screening services. Identity verification can be included where employers need to confirm that a candidate is who they claim to be, including during remote hiring. The wider screening package should still be based on the role and location.
Software and technology employees may have access to sensitive systems, data or intellectual property. Screening helps employers verify relevant candidate information before providing that access. The checks selected should be proportionate to the role and comply with the rules in the hiring country.
The appropriate checks depend on the role, hiring location and level of access involved. Veremark's technology-sector page highlights right-to-work, criminal-record, adverse-financial-history, professional-qualification, financial-regulation and reference checks. Identity, employment-history, academic and sanctions checks may also be relevant for particular roles.
Yes. Veremark’s API allows background checks to be requested through an existing hiring platform, with status updates and results returned through the integration. Veremark also offers direct integrations with selected hiring platforms, including Greenhouse.
Yes. Veremark currently provides background-screening services in more than 195 countries. The availability of academic, criminal, employment, financial and identity checks varies by country, and some checks may have local limitations.
Yes. Veremark offers online background checks through its digital platform. Employers can request checks, monitor the progress of individual checks and access completed reports from the Veremark dashboard.
Turnaround times depend on the type of check and the country in which it is conducted. Some checks rely on responses from employers, educational institutions, government authorities or other official sources. Most background checks are completed within 15 business days after all required candidate information has been received. In markets with limited digital infrastructure or slower third-party responses, checks may take up to 20 business days or longer. Clients can monitor the progress of individual checks through the Veremark dashboard.
