Core & Specialized Background Check Types

A comprehensive screening program is built on core verifications, with optional components added based on job responsibilities and risk exposure. At the foundation, most employers begin with a criminal background check to identify reportable offenses relevant to the position. This is often paired with employment verification to confirm job titles and responsibilities, as well as education verification to validate degrees or certifications claimed by the candidate.

Depending on the role, additional screening components may be appropriate. Credit checks are commonly used for positions involving financial authority, while motor vehicle reports support roles that require driving. Employers may also choose to include drug testing as part of a broader workplace safety program.

It’s important to understand the difference between instant online searches and professional investigations conducted by consumer reporting agencies. Automated searches can return incomplete or outdated information, whereas professional criminal background checks rely on jurisdiction-specific records and trained analysts to ensure accuracy and context. A verified criminal history check helps employers distinguish between relevant findings and records that may be incomplete, expunged, or misattributed.

Global Verification Network offers flexibility to tailor screening packages by industry, geography and risk tolerance. Whether for supporting hiring, tenant screening or regulated environments, employers can design programs that align with operational needs without unnecessary scope or cost.

Why Do a Background Check?

Candidate Selection. Pick the best candidate for the job only after confirming the facts. Are candidates who they say they are? Are they as qualified as they claim? If there are discrepancies between the facts and what was presented to you, what does this say about the candidate’s character? A bad hire lowers morale, negatively affects productivity, and can even damage your existing relationships with vendors and customers.

Safety and Security. Protect your employees, workplace and valuable information by minimizing the possibility of violence, theft and corporate espionage. Global Verification Network conducts a comprehensive business background check to assess your candidate’s character and bring past criminal behavior to light.

Protection from Litigation. Hiring someone who causes harm to an employee or customer leaves you open to negligent hiring/retention litigation. Do your due diligence and make sure that your potential hires are properly investigated before extending an offer. If your candidate has a history of criminal, violent or otherwise questionable behavior, rest assured that Global Verification Network would find it with our background screening services.

Cost Savings. The best background checks save money in the long run by reducing turnover. While you can undertake limited telephone and online background checks yourself, professional background verification companies like Global Verification Network have access to all the relevant databases and records — and the knowledge to use them correctly and responsibly. Replacing a bad hire is expensive, so make sure you get the right person in the first place.

Make Quick Hiring Decisions. With all the information at your fingertips, you will be able to review candidates, determine whether someone is a good fit for the role, and extend an offer quickly. This boosts your productivity since you won’t be waiting on an internal review to move forward. When your business needs a reliable person but doesn’t have the bandwidth for an in-depth background check, let us help.
