What Are Checks? 

If you need to place specific checks or an individual check on a candidate, the Verifile client portal can help you do this.

Being able to place the correct and specific background checks allows for you to gain a deeper understanding of your candidate's background.

Incorporating checks, such as academic, employment history, credit history and any criminal record information, helps you to decide on your candidate's suitability for the role applied for.

Background checks are crucial for you when taking on new recruits or even when screening existing employees. 

After selecting the checks needed for your candidate, you can also choose to add more checks to your selection later on. 

Steps

1. Log in to the Verifile client portal.
 

2. Click Place Order (Candidate Entry) on the toolbar.

3. This Candidate Entry order page will appear.

4. Enter the information of the candidate you wish to place the checks for.

Please note that the minimum requirements for information provided by the client should be those fields marked with a red asterisk (*)

5. Click Next.

5. Select which service type is required for your candidate.
