Do you offer background checks?

Find out more about the background check options offered by Near to ensure the safety and security of your team.

At Near, we understand the importance of ensuring the safety and security of your team. That's why we offer a range of background check options to help you make informed hiring decisions.

Reference Checks

All of our products include reference checks, which involve speaking to at least 2 or 3 of the candidate's references to verify their employment history and character. These reference checks provide valuable insights into the candidate's past performance and help to ensure that they are a good fit for your team.

If you require a more in-depth background check, we offer two additional options: SoftChecks and International Criminal Background Checks.

SoftChecks

SoftChecks involve running the candidate's profile through a 200+ country-wide database of media sources, court cases, sex offender registers, watchlists, and more to see if they are related to any risk-relevant information. This allows us to identify any red flags that may indicate potential risks to your team. SoftChecks typically take a maximum of 5 working days to complete, though they are often ready in just 2 days.

International Criminal Background Checks

For even more comprehensive background checks, we offer international criminal background checks. These involve a more thorough analysis of the candidate's background, including checks with international contacts to verify the information provided by the SoftChecks. International criminal background checks take a maximum of 10 working days to complete.

With Near's range of background check options, you can have peace of mind knowing that your team is safe and secure. Contact us today to learn more about our background check services.
