In addition to the Level 1 screening we verify the employee/applicant history for the last 5 (or 10) years including any gaps in employment in accordance with the latest BS 7858:2006 standard
To minimise employer cost we first validate the employee/applicant with Level 1 screening, if the person is deemed to have failed at Level 1 we will not proceed further and you will not be charged for additional history verifications.
If required we can also cover character references within our Level 1, BS 7858 security screening.
