Address Verification
This global search confirms the address details of a candidate and can attest to a person’s identity.
This search verifies the candidate’s registered address by an electronic search and/or physical visit.
Social Media Screening
Social media background checks are used to search for objective indicators of toxic, illegal, or inappropriate behaviour, and potential discriminatory beliefs from public internet sources.
Checked social media includes LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, Instagram, CrunchBase, YouTube, Bloomberg, Klout and Pinterest along with some business-based publications.
Adverse Media Check
It includes professional and personal activities to uncover image and reputational information and typically uncovers past behaviour or activities that may not be officially recorded in any other manner, i.e. not a recordable/reportable infringement.
It is a broad-based press search of over ten years using the applicant’s name using global electronic media sources. Content includes more than 31,000 specialised publications and 900 news wires from 200 countries in 26 languages including.
Driver Licence Check
Driver risk management has become a critical issue for many organisations, with the recognition that it affects your reputation, budgets, profitability and the safety of the community.
This national search verification reveals whether an individual’s driving licence is valid, and has accrued any demerit points and/or traffic infringements. Note: This check is not available in NSW.
Professional Membership
Specific professional memberships may be essential and/or a key requirement for many roles. Failing to verify this information can result in having unqualified people in positions in which they are unable to perform or having people remunerated incorrectly.
Our researchers will verify professional memberships, currency of membership, and any disciplinary records on file. For trade licences, various data sources confirm the tradesperson is qualified to conduct the work.
100-Point Identity Check
The verification of a candidate’s identity underpins all other verification and is fundamental to all roles.
To ensure your candidate is who they say they are we will verify their identity using a variety of means from verification of the candidate’s recognised identity card and/or passport or collection and cross referencing of nominated identity documents. Our machine learning capability enables us to do this accurately, quickly and efficiently.
