Screening/Due Diligence

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

Legal Compliance & Fairness

We are committed to fair, inclusive, and non-discriminatory recruitment practices.

All screening activities are:

Compliant with applicable employment, data protection, and privacy laws
Conducted consistently and objectively
Limited to what is necessary for the role and jurisdiction
