Verifying work history and previous employers is a critical part of the hiring process. This is done to ensure that the stated experience and qualifications are correct.

Credit check

A credit check is an important part of a thorough background check, especially for positions involving financial responsibilities or access to sensitive financial information. By performing a credit check, employers may get insight into a candidate’s financial reliability. This may reveal potential risks such as high debt and financial instability, that may affect job performance or increase the risk of financial default. A credit check also gives a more thorough picture of a candidate’s financial integrity and judgment.At Manymore, we perform credit checks in an ethical and legal manner, always with the consent of the candidate and in line with privacy legislation. We help balance the need for a thorough check with respect for the privacy of the candidate, so that you can make well-informed hiring decisions.

Source search

Combining open and closed source searches is essential for a thorough and effective background check. Open source searches, also known as OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), give access to a broad spectrum of publicly available information which may reveal important details about a person’s background, network and reputation. This may include social media, news articles and other online sources. Closed source searches, on the other hand, give access to verified databases containing official information about police records, education and work experience. By combining these methods, Manymore is able to offer a more comprehensive and precise background check, which gives a rounded picture of the candidate and reduces the risk of hiring the wrong person.
