FAQs
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
FAQs
An employer should request BPSS checks to be conducted for an applicant.
Normally, the turnaround time for a BPSS check is around 7-10 working days.
A BPSS check doesn’t have an official expiry date. However, the information provided is only valid and accurate at the time the checks were carried out. Should an employee move to a new company, elements such as a Right to Work check will need to be conducted again, as it’s a legal requirement.
A DBS check is not the same as a Background Check (BPSS), however a BPSS check should contain a DBS check.
A BPSS check consists of:
- UK Right to Work Check
- UK Online Identity Check
- Basic DBS Check
- 3 years of Employment History
The Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS) is recognised by the government as the standard for pre-employment screening for those with access to government assets; some of these roles may include civil servants, members of the armed forces, and government contractors. It is not a formal security clearance and does not guarantee that someone will be granted full clearance. However, its rigorous and consistent application underpins the national security vetting process.
