Hi

Quite simply, background checks will be needed to make sure that the candidate is who they say they are and that they haven't lied on their CV. This is an essential point to consider, as with a lot of people liking to embellish their CVs somewhat, it's always advisable to make sure that their qualifications and experience can be trusted and verified.

Then consider the possibility that the candidate isn't even eligible to work in the UK or has undisclosed convictions. That's where a criminal records check comes into its own, as you need to make sure that you can trust your employee 100%, especially if they're to work with material (or people) of a sensitive or vulnerable nature.

Running an employee background check will help to give you peace of mind that you've made the right decision. It's a lot more cost-effective than hiring someone only to find out they're not who you thought they were, so avoid the hassle by letting professionals run thorough employee background checks and criminal records checks for you.

Thanks
