My candidate is worried about Verifile running a credit check as they are concerned about the impact on their credit. How should I advise them?

[CF]

Credit checks run by Verifile leaves a soft footprint on the candidate’s credit file.

A soft footprint is only visible to the candidate themselves and a credit provider, lender, or bank cannot see that we have run this credit check.

The check will have no effect on the individual’s credit score or their ability to gain credit.
