An international background check is likely to take longer than a domestic check. Expect five days to three weeks for an international background check. Background investigations in some countries might come through sooner, and a few could take longer.

Fair.
Applied uniformly

If you are looking into an individual's criminal record, it's best to take an all or nothing approach. Either fully commit to checking each possible jurisdiction for possible criminal records, or don't check any at all and operate on faith. (I don't recommend operating on faith) Performing anything in between can result in misinformation, a false sense of security and regulatory non-compliance which means serious financial liability for you and your company.
Global's Civil Background Check Package provides a different perspective on an applicant, business partner or financial advisor. The civil background check will uncover any civil (non-criminal) records on a subject (individual or company), such as bankruptcy, liens, and civil judgments. This is critical information to receive if you want to better understand the character and decision making of the subject.
Hiring a new employee can be exciting. It can mean that the business is growing or it can be a relief to fill a critical vacant position. It can also be very risky if the new employee isn't able to perform at the expected level, is intent on defrauding the company, or if the screening process is non-compliant with the applicable regulations. To mitigate this risk, businesses need to perform comprehensive and compliant pre-employment screenings.
