Screening coverage spans over 200 regions and territories with scope varying by jurisdiction based on legal access, record availability, and required documentation.

Yes, candidate consent is required under GDPR, local data protection laws, and employment screening regulations in most countries before international checks can be performed. Authorization requirements vary by country with some requiring specific disclosure language and timing. GCheck’s country-specific consent workflows ensure proper authorization is obtained according to each jurisdiction’s requirements, protecting your organization from the privacy violations that occur when consent rules are not followed.
Yes, international records undergo verification to confirm identity accuracy, validate source authenticity, and ensure proper interpretation of foreign documents.

International check timelines range from one week to six weeks depending on country, check type, and local processing requirements.

GCheck provides country-specific timing estimates so your team can plan international hiring processes and set realistic expectations with candidates and hiring managers about when verification will be complete.

Retention periods vary by country with GDPR and local laws determining minimum and maximum retention.
