WHY IT'S BETTER

Global Criminal Screening with Compliance and Reach

Domestic checks are often not enough. Our service extends criminal background screening internationally so you get visibility into a candidate’s history anywhere they have lived or worked.

Extensive International Coverage

We perform searches in more than 190 countries, covering national, regional, and local criminal record repositories. This helps identify records that domestic only screening might miss.

Smart Source Routing and Hybrid Verification

Our system selects the most reliable data source for each candidate’s history and location. When digital data is unavailable, we escalate to vetted manual researchers who retrieve official local records. This reduces blind spots and improves accuracy.

Compliance Aware, Privacy Respecting Workflow

International screening varies by jurisdiction. We manage consent, data handling, and reporting in line with applicable regulations so your team can hire globally without compliance risk.
