Background checks – why is it important?
The success of an organisation depends on having the right employees. It is, therefore, important to make sure you know who you are recruiting and retaining.

What background checks does Validata perform?
An identity check, or ID check, is the most frequently performed check within Validata’s screening profiles. The identity of a (potential) employee is verified by examining a passport, ID card, or residence permit. Validata performs identity checks on both a national and an international level for businesses across Europe.
Validata performs education checks. We verify diplomas that are attained at the candidate’s highest level of education across worldwide institutes. Training or course certificates or grade list cannot be verified.
Checking the creditworthiness of (potential) employees offers insight into possible (financial) risks. Relevant information from courts, bailiffs, debt collection agencies is consulted and payment arrears are checked. The application procedure for an international creditworthiness check differs per country.
Validata assists organisations obtain international criminal record checks. Validata has access to an extensive database of countries where we can request international criminal record check or we check with the relevant country’s embassy. This process differs per country.
Validata checks the work experience of a (potential) employee. An appointed referee or HR department is approached to verify the period of employment, stated position, and employer.
Validata examines global accounts of money laundering, (financial) fraud, the financing of or participation in criminal organisations, and drug-related crime. A team of researchers checks daily publications from financial, regulatory, and disciplinary authorities worldwide. However, anti-corruption agencies such as Interpol, Europol, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are also consulted.
The candidate must upload the three most recent salary slips here and one bank statement from his/her bank account where the salary deposit can be seen. Validata checks whether the documents are present and it is up to the client to review these documents.
