Original Inquiry
We are a multinational financial services company with offices in over 15 countries (North America, EMEA, Asia-PAC) and are in the process of reviewing our disparate background check processes in an effort to come up with a single background check policy with the flexibility to be tailored by country. We envision having this apply to employees and to suppliers/contractors and will apply for both physical and logical access. We are trying to define the high level areas (e.g. Criminal History, Employment History, Education, Address, SSN/equivalent, etc.) that will be addressed through background checks and then defining the actual metrics for each area on a country by country basis.
1) What have other companies done on a global basis to manage/monitor background checks?
2) Does anyone have a global background check policy/guideline or advice/lessons learned that they can share?
3) From a sourcing perspective, is it best to have a global background check provider or to go with regional providers?
