How does the Verifile traffic light system work?

[CF]


Verifile traffic lights provide an indication of the results of the check.


For every check ordered/placed, a traffic light will be applied to the final report, which is a visual indicator of the results therein.


A green traffic light


We would always advise that you fully review all results, as there may be details you feel are more important than the traffic light suggests, which do not match the details provided to you in an interview or on a C.V., etc.

 

The traffic light system works as follows:

 


Green traffic light: The results match the information provided by the candidate exactly or closely.

 

Amber traffic light: The results do not completely match the information provided by the candidate or some information which may be considered negative has been found.

 

Red traffic light: The results are extraordinarily different from the information provided, or we have found negative information.



We can provide full details of how Verifile assesses checks, including details of thresholds for assigning different traffic lights. If you would like a copy of this document, please find it below.

 

The document is entitled Traffic Light Guidance, and provides a breakdown of the different checks and which traffic light colour we would apply under different scenarios. 

 

There is an option to remove traffic lights from your report. If you prefer not to view these, please let us know and we can adjust our online system accordingly. Please note, this would be a global option for your account and affect all users.
