Why Is Global Screening Important?

Advanced Vetting offers comprehensive pre-employment screening and vetting services globally, ensuring that organisations can make informed decisions about their potential hires while maintaining compliance with international regulations.

Global screening helps to protect your organisation’s integrity and mitigate potential risks. It’s essential to recognise that in our increasingly mobile workforce, candidates often have international backgrounds that require thorough investigation. By implementing a comprehensive background screening programme, you can:

  • Enhance trust within your organisation
  • Mitigate fraud risks
  • Ensure regulatory compliance
  • Promote a safe workplace environment
  • Protect your company’s reputation

How Can Global Screening Benefit Specific Industries?

Financial Services

Global screening helps financial institutions combat financial crime by identifying high-risk individuals, conducting due diligence on Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs), ensuring compliance with AML regulations, and mitigating reputational risks.

Healthcare

In healthcare, global screening verifies medical qualifications, conducts background checks on professionals, ensures compliance with regulations, and protects patient trust and the organisation’s reputation.

Technology and Cybersecurity

For tech companies, global screening verifies technical qualifications, mitigates insider threats, ensures compliance with data protection laws, and safeguards intellectual property and company secrets.

What Does the Global Screening Process Include?

Our comprehensive global screening solution encompasses a wide range of checks to provide a thorough overview of your potential hire. The process typically includes:

  • International background checks
  • Employment verification
  • Education and qualification checks
  • Criminal record searches
  • Credit checks (where legally permissible)
  • Sanctions screening
  • Politically Exposed Persons (PEP) checks
  • Anti-Money Laundering (AML) screening
  • Identity verification

We can tailor our screening services to meet your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the most relevant and valuable information for your hiring decisions.

What Are the Legal and Data Considerations in Global Screening?

Global screening requires careful adherence to varying data privacy laws and employment regulations across different countries. Advanced Vetting recognises the importance of compliance and has implemented an extensive privacy framework to ensure that all screening activities are conducted ethically, legally, and with respect for local laws.

Each country has its own unique set of legal requirements, making it essential to consider the following:

GDPR Compliance for EU Data Subjects 

For individuals in the EU, we ensure full compliance with GDPR, protecting personal data and adhering to strict privacy rules.

Cross-Border Data Transfer Regulations 

Transferring data between countries requires careful navigation of international laws, as some regions have stricter controls on data leaving their borders.

Country-Specific Employment Laws 

Different countries have varying laws regarding employment background checks. Our screening process takes these differences into account, ensuring compliance in each jurisdiction.

Consent and Data Retention Policies 

We obtain explicit consent from individuals for all checks. Our data retention policies comply with both local and international guidelines. Additionally, we respect the “right to be forgotten” where applicable.

Our team stays on top of the legal landscape, ensuring that our global screening services remain compliant, effective, and adaptable to local regulations.
