Candidate FAQ

The company that ordered your background check has access to view the results of screenings. If you did not receive the report, please contact us.

That depends on the complexity of the research. Most screenings are automated and provide quick results (<2 hours). But it may also be that the investigation requires us to contact former employers by telephone. Then the investigation will take a little longer. On average, screenings take 2 business days if not automated.

Once your background check has been completed, the results will be shared directly with the organisation that requested it. The report contains only factual information, without any judgments or recommendations. The interpretation and decision-making based on the results are the sole responsibility of the requesting organisation.

If you have not received a copy of your report, please reach out to the organisation that requested your background check.
