Questions & answers
What is the status of my screening?
Would you like to know the status of your screening? Please contact us.
My background report is complete. What happens next?
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.
How long does a screening take?
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.
Can I see the final report?
Of course! As soon as we have processed all the results, you will receive the final report. Your (future) employer will receive exactly the same report. It contains no judgments, only facts. It is up to the employer to interpret the results. In case you did not receive the report, please contact us.
Are organizations allowed to screen?
Yes. This form of control is mandatory for some job levels and sectors. Consider, for example, the healthcare and financial sector. However, many organisations also have screenings performed if this is not mandatory. They do this to prevent risks, such as image or financial damage.
What happens with my data?
We consider privacy very important. That is why we process your data at the same level of security as leading banks and government institutions. And we ask you to only share data that is necessary for your position. This data is kept as short as possible until the purpose of the screening has been achieved. Our processes and platform are BSI ISO27001 certified for data & privacy. Furthermore PESCHECK has a license from the Ministry of Justice of the Netherlands to perform background checks under POB number #1551 (see document – lijst vergunninghouders).

I want to use my right to object, what should I do?
You always have the right to have your personal data removed and/or anonymized. This is called the right to object. We will then ensure that your data is deleted or can no longer be traced back to you. The right to object in special personal circumstances is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Fill in the contact form to submit the right of objection.
I want to submit a complaint, how can I do it?

How will a screening benefit me?

Can I request a screening for myself?
Of course! Do you want to show clients or your (future) employer that you are qualified and honest? Request your screening here and see an overview of the process below.
