Often organisations need to verify certain personal data before entering into new business relations. A screening is ultimately a background check and could include a (future) employer verifying a (potential) employee’s diploma, recent work experience, and or criminal record amongst other possibilities. A screening can consist of various background checks depending on your position and responsibilities.
Validata screens candidates within an online environment called Valluga. Both the employer and candidate have their own account within Valluga. Once an employer has requested a screening, you will receive an email from Validata with instructions on how to provide the necessary information. Once the information has been provided, Validata will verify your data.
As soon as a screening element is complete, the results are immediately visible in Valluga for you and the employer. When all screening elements are complete, a report will be produced and made available to both you and the employer.
After the candidate has provided the required data, the average turnaround time of a screening at Validata is 1-2 working days. Elements that have a longer turnaround time include criminal records from abroad and the verification of foreign diplomas.
