International Regulatory Checks

Our international regulatory checks help keep you compliant with local laws and regulations in unfamiliar countries or territories. We provide a customizable, global view to help mitigate risk.

Access Critical Regulatory Checks Around The World

For many job positions, a standard background check package may suffice. However, within certain regulated industries, such as financial services or banking, and in some jurisdictions, there are local laws, rules or regulations which require specific types of additional database searches. While most employers know where to turn for required regulatory screening within their own country, it is not as simple when hiring candidates to work in other countries.

Our international regulatory checks can help by providing employers access to critical regulatory checks around the world. With fast, streamlined access to these required searches, employers can more easily select packages which they have determined are applicable to them by their legal advisors in order to comply with specific regulatory conditions. In addition, employers can mitigate risk and make better informed hiring decisions by acquiring a more complete history of the candidate.
