DOCUMENT VERIFICATION
ID Verification matches personal information supplied by the applicant against a comprehensive set of reliable data sources. The check is designed to reduce the need for document collection and increase the effectiveness of traditional paper-based methods of verifying identity.
Passport Checks
This verification helps support the right to work process. We check the authenticity and validity of the passport by checking the algorithm codes.
This can also be performed on
international passports, Visa and other travel documents.
NI Number Checks
Useful in confirming a candidate’s employment gaps and as part of an identity check.
UK DIRECTORSHIP CHECKS
The search confirms if the individual holds any current or previous UK Directorships or company
secretarial positions. This information may be undeclared or omitted by candidates which may constitute a potential conflict of interest for the employer.
DVLA CHECKS
A driving licence check should be conducted on individuals driving on behalf of a company, and not just individuals driving company vehicles. CV Insight deals directly with the DVLA to establish whether the employee has a valid licence, any current endorsements and is not banned from driving.
We are able to perform international driving licence checks. The cost will vary depending on the country.
COMPLIANCE & REGULATORY CHECKS
These are carried out using a number of different searches directly through governmental sources as well as lists and databases developed from various agencies in the UK as well as international sources.
These services are designed to aid our clients that wish to demonstrate an enhanced level of due diligence, either by company policy, industry guideline and law as well as improving workplace security and compliance with anti-terrorism laws.
Financial Services Authority (FSA) Checks
This verification can be carried out on any FSA regulated applicants (usually approved persons). The candidate’s details are checked against the FSA Register. The search will confirm the applicant’s search name, FSA reference number, current status (active or not), current controlled function, current employer name and start date.
As well as the candidate’s history of previous controlled functions and any disciplinary action taken through the FSA, the register will also reveal a list of prohibited individuals.
Bank of England Sanctions List
This search is usually carried out for FSA regulated personnel for sensitive and very senior positions. The searches are performed using UK and international government and financial sector databases and confirm if any sanctions, enforcements and misdemeanours have been imposed against an individual. It includes reference to HM Treasury financial sanctions targets.
Anti-Terrorism Checks
This search is usually carried out on candidates that are being considered for very sensitive and senior positions. The candidate’s details are checked against data from UK and International Regulatory, Non Regulatory and Law enforcement agencies.
This search encompasses data from a number of sources including all major sanctioning bodies (UN, OFAC, European Union, Bank of England, Terror Sanctions list, FBI most wanted list, World Bank Listing of Ineligible Individuals and many others).
MEDIA CHECKS
A media check is often carried out for high level positions and sensitive posts. We provide both UK and international media checks that will highlight any potentially adverse information relating to the
candidate. An extensive search is carried out via Internet search engines sourcing thousands of news databases and archives.
CIVIL LITIGATION CHECKS
Civil litigation searches can provide insight into characteristics and actions that indicate a propensity for behaviour that might not be conducive to your company culture. In the UK, for example, the search contains details of cases from the Court of Appeal. The data is gathered from searches at local courts and other sources.
CRIMINAL RECORD CHECKS
These checks, also known as CRB checks, enable organisations to protect themselves against theft and violence in the workplace and also meet FSA compliance for applicants performing controlled functions.
There are three types of checks available, Basic, Standard and Enhanced Disclosures.
The type of checks available will depend on the nature of the position and professions within the terms of the Exceptions Order under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. We also provide checks against POVA for lists of people banned from working with children and vulnerable adults.
We are able to perform International Criminal Records and Criminality checks through best methods. The cost, availability and legal use varies greatly between countries.
DRUG & ALCOHOL TESTING
Substance abuse is a growing problem, and consequently drug and alcohol testing has become an important part of the recruitment process. A number of Fortune FTSE companies now implement some type of drug testing into their recruitment process.
An employee's inability to perform their job function increases the risk of injury to themselves, fellow employees and the public.
At CV Insight we can help provide a variety of drug and alcohol screening solutions for both pre and post employment screening which will allow clients to assess medical conditions that may affect a candidate's ability to safely perform a job.
