European Background Ltd

European Background Ltd is a UK specialist providing pre-employment screening and background checks. Thats all we do but we do it in greater depth and by using proprietary products, that differentiate our programmes from the rest. The primary role is to verify that any information - such as employment history and professional qualifications - supplied by a candidate to a potential employer is accurate and meets the requirements of the client. Combining this with Drugs and Alcohol screening and operating worldwide despite the name, gives European Background unique depth and coverage. European Background has developed new products to aid both production and interpretation of background data. These products have helped European Background to be the fastest growing UK pre employment company. This vetting service is used to help in the selection process, providing a safety net for employers as they make their final decisions in recruiting new staff. European Background's specialist researchers check many different sources of information as part of the screening process including Equifax, HPI, Court Records, the Criminal Records Bureau, the Land Registry and Companies' House. Typically, it takes around ten days to make all the necessary checks before compiling a report that is handed to employers. Checks can only be carried out with the consent of the candidate involved and examine up to ten years of employment history in line with the Data Protection Act. European Background is fully compliant with UK privacy legislation including the Data Protection Act, the Consumer Credit Act, the Criminal Records Bureau and the Scottish Criminal Records Bureau.
