EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND

EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECKS WHAT ARE THEY?

CRI GROUP™ Pre Employment Checks are essentially an investigation into a person’s character – inside and outside their professional lives. Some checks you probably already carry out in-house, such as candidate’s qualifications (documents provided), work history (with a reference check), right to work in the country and even a quick social media presence scan.

However, we provide a full in-depth background screening service for candidates and employees at all levels – from senior executives through to shop-floor employees.
