Candidate Screening and Due Diligence
Pre-Employment Screening & Due Diligence
As part of our commitment to maintaining a safe, professional, and trustworthy working environment, we carry out appropriate pre-employment screening checks on candidates during our recruitment process.
These checks are designed to ensure that individuals appointed to roles are suitably qualified, legally eligible to work, and aligned with our professional and ethical standards.
Types of Checks We May Conduct
Depending on the role, location, and level of responsibility, pre-employment checks may include:
-
Verification of identity
-
Right-to-work and employment eligibility checks
-
Employment history and reference checks
-
Verification of qualifications or professional certifications
-
Other role-specific screening, where relevant
All checks are conducted in a proportionate and role-appropriate manner.
Criminal Background Checks
Where legally permissible and appropriate, we may conduct criminal background checks as part of our recruitment process, using an approved 3rd party service.
Criminal record checks:
-
Are carried out only where relevant to the role
-
Are conducted in accordance with local laws and regulations
-
May vary on a country-by-country basis due to differing legal requirements and restrictions
-
Are carried out when explicitly requested by the customer/hiring entity
Having a criminal record does not automatically disqualify a candidate from employment. Any information disclosed or obtained will be considered fairly, confidentially, and in the context of:
-
The nature of the role
-
The relevance of the offence
-
The time elapsed since the offence

Processed securely
