Pre-employment screening and background checks FAQs

These checks help you learn more about a person before you hire them. They include looking at past jobs, education, and any criminal records. This is called a background check for employment. It helps you make sure the person is right for the job and can handle the role.

It's best to follow a clear process when doing these checks. This keeps things fair and the same for everyone. The screening should be honest, follow the law, and help you feel sure about who you are hiring. Having a simple employment check policy can make this easier.

You can take back a job offer if the checks show something that doesn’t match what the person said, or if they don’t meet the conditions. This should happen before the contract is signed. Always tell candidates that the job depends on passing the pre-employment checks.

It depends on the type of checks. Simple checks can take about 1–2 weeks. More detailed checks might take up to 8 weeks. The time can change based on what you’re looking into during the UK employment background check.

We offer many background screening services to fit your needs. This includes identity checks, criminal record checks, DBS checks, BPSS, BS7858, and even social media screening. Our team will help you pick the right services to stay safe and meet your hiring needs.

If the job needs a clean background, like a safe driving record, and the check shows problems, you might decide not to hire them. We’ll give you the info clearly so you can decide. In some cases, if you have a contract with us, we can help you make those decisions based on your rules. A failed check doesn’t always mean rejection—sometimes it just gives more details to think about.

The checks you need depend on the job. Some roles, like teaching, need more checks. But most employers must do the right to work checks, reference checks, and sometimes criminal or medical checks. Doing the right pre-employment screening background checks keeps you compliant and protected.
