Valida’s Background Screening is suitable for companies that have a continuous recruitment flow. Valida becomes your partner regarding risk assessments of your candidates.
To create a consistent process for background screening within your company, Valida adjusts the design of the background controls. All candidates are evaluated on equal grounds and, of course, the background screening is conducted with a consent from the candidate.
Valida works for fair and safe workplaces, where there are good relations – therefore evaluation on the same basis is a prerequisite.
This is how it works
Valida handles the implementation and analysis of background screening, we take care of the entire process – from collecting information to validation and recommendation. The recommendation we provide is always based on the requirement / risk profile you have developed for the service, linked to adjudication guidelines we have created together.
Usually, the recommendation is that the candidate is ready to hire, another outcome is that information emerges which, according to your adjudication guidelines, means that the candidate is not employable.
A background check can include the following information areas:
Personals
Academic education
Previous positions
Legal cases
Economy
Driving licenses
We think the word background checks may be one of the most misunderstood words in the Swedish HR industry. The most common misconception is that background checks are the same as a control against a police register or a credit check. It is so far from the truth that one can come.
The customers we have worked with over the last few years often think that they know what kind of background control they want to do, but after we have discussed, the assignment often has become something else.
