Hire with confidence across borders.
Protect your business by verifying the credentials and public digital footprints of international job candidates. We provide discreet, human‑led research that goes beyond automated checks – especially in regions where standard background screening falls short.
How our candidate verification works.
1. You provide the candidate details
Share the candidate's name, claimed work history, educational background, and any supporting documents or profiles you already have. The more data points, the more thorough the check.
2. We confirm lawful authorisation
We ensure the request has a legitimate employment purpose and that the candidate has consented, or that the research can be performed within applicable legal frameworks.
3. We trace the public footprint
Our researchers examine professional registries, social networks, business directories, university records, and other open sources to verify claimed credentials and identify any discrepancies.
4. You receive a structured report
We deliver a written summary that confirms what aligns, flags what doesn't, and gives you the clarity needed to make a confident hiring decision.
What a candidate check can uncover.
Employment History Verification
We check whether claimed past employers and positions align with the candidate's visible professional footprint and public business registries.
Educational Credential Review
Confirm that claimed degrees and institutions appear in publicly accessible graduation lists, alumni networks, or university databases where available.
Identity & Document Consistency
Verify that the candidate's name, date of birth, and claimed location correspond to a real person with a coherent public‑source presence.
Professional Licence Check
Where applicable, we search public professional registries and licensing bodies to confirm that claimed certifications are valid and current.
Social Media & Online Presence
Review the candidate's visible public social profiles for consistency with their professional narrative, and flag any fabricated or suspicious accounts.
AI‑Generated Profile Detection
In an era of deep‑fake CVs and fabricated LinkedIn profiles, we manually inspect for the subtle signs that a candidate's digital identity may be artificial.
Pre-employment screening that works where automated tools fail.
Major background check companies are optimised for North American and Western European databases. When you're hiring from Eastern Europe, Central Asia, or the Caucasus, those automated tools often return empty reports – or worse, false negatives that give you unfounded confidence.
Our researchers know the regional registries, the language nuances, and the professional platforms that matter in these markets. We deliver what machines cannot: context, cultural understanding, and a trained eye for the inconsistencies that reveal a fabricated CV.
Situations that call for candidate screening.
- Remote or offshore hiresWhen you cannot meet a candidate in person, public-source verification is your best tool for confirming their professional identity.
- Senior or sensitive rolesFor positions involving finance, data access, or client relationships, a professional check mitigates reputational and financial risk.
- Cross-border contractor engagementBefore committing to a long-term contract with an overseas freelancer or consultant, verify their claimed background.
- AI-era hiring cautionAs AI‑generated CVs and profiles become more common, manual verification is increasingly essential to protect your hiring pipeline.
Verify before you commit.
