We offer a range of reference checking services to suit all industry sectors, including those in which specific vetting regulations now apply. Here are some examples of how our services can vary depending on a client's particular requirements:

• Some clients require us to obtain references from all previous employers covering a specific number of years, whereas others simply require a set number of references to be obtained, regardless of what period they cover;
• Some clients require us to confirm each applicant's employment history with accuracy to the day (including investigating gaps in employment), whereas others will accept references which confirm start and finish dates to the month and year only, leaving gaps unchecked;
• Some clients are highly risk-sensitive and can only accept original validated references which satisfy an exacting list of criteria, whereas others can accept references by fax or email etc.

Whatever your attitude towards risk and whatever regulatory framework you operate in, we will help you define a screening process which balances your need to mitigate risk with your duty as an employer to restrict background checks to a reasonable level.
