Background Screening

International background screening for security staff and security companies in over 200 countries around the world

Reduce your risks through the advantage of knowledge

In times of globalization and rising demands in the work world, a high-quality recruiting process is crucial. In addition, the number of deceptive applications is also increasing. Even with only limited knowledge of image editing or corrections to their CV, applicants can enhance job references or management skills and thus increase the chance of landing an interview. Especially when filling sensitive or high-level management positions, hiring unsuitable candidates can lead to considerable damage. Pre-employment screenings (PES) help companies mitigate the potential of risk in advance and sustainably increase the quality of their recruiting processes.

CERTAVIS LLC specializes in the international screening of security staff (pre-employment screening) and security companies as part of a due diligence (DD) reviews in over 200 countries around the world.

International pre-employment screening (PES)

International pre-employment screening (PES) varies from country to country and is heavily regulated by laws. In Germany and parts of Europe, this form of candidate screening is less common, not least due to the stringent data protection and labor law provisions in German-speaking Europe. We are very familiar with the laws and regulations of the European Union and will assist you in doing checks on employees who live outside the US.

Minimize risks with future business partners through due diligence (DD)

Business or cooperation with a company or a person can entail a wide range of risks, and not just monetary ones. We help you minimize this risk while covering every important aspect.

In due diligence screening, CERTAVIS LLC collects, evaluates, and verifies all available information about a person or company. The due diligence report can be requested and evaluated in the US without the subject's knowledge.

Please note that the due diligence report cannot be used for employment or leasing purposes, and when using public records for personal use, the Gramm Leach Bliley Act applies and must be strictly observed.
