Why Is International Screening Important?
International background checks are essential for employers evaluating candidates who have lived, worked, or studied abroad. A clean record in the U.S. does not guarantee the absence of sanctions or criminal convictions in other countries where the candidate has resided or visited. These checks are inherently complex due to the diverse languages, laws, and regulations involved, posing significant challenges for employers to manage without assistance. Moreover, failing to adhere to the legal requirements of other nations during these checks can expose a company to substantial penalties and fines.

International Watch List Criminal Search
Verification that candidates are not included on any international or domestic watchlists. The screen reveals if a candidate has been involved in activities such as terrorism, narcotics trafficking, fraud, significant international crimes, debarments and exclusions, disciplinary sanctions, or major financial crimes, either in the U.S. or abroad.
