Our faster, easier ID checks and pre employment background checks help you mitigate risk and protect your company’s reputation, especially when hiring non-residents.
We are particularly experienced in supporting multinational corporations hiring ex-pat personnel to high standards for Middle East positions. Our domestic and international screening in 190 countries is accessible via one platform.



Manage Reputation Risk
One negative press headline or legal action can have serious consequences for your business’s reputation. Thorough background checks can reduce the risk of hiring someone with a history of fraud, embezzlement or other unethical behaviour.
Our streamlined process for conducting pre employment background checks includes criminal record checks, employment referencing, validation of academic qualifications and social media searches using a range of international databases.



Dedicated Case Ownership
You are supported by dedicated account managers who are background screening specialists across a range of business sectors.
Every case is owned by an expert analyst from start to finish. Our multilingual analysts, include Arabic speakers who are knowledgeable in cultural norms, regional laws and legal systems. Clients can speak directly to the analyst working on a case for quick, expedient case management. This also provides a direct contact for candidates.
