BACKGROUND CHECKS
Make smarter hiring decisions with employee background checks
A comprehensive background check can uncover any red flags that may not be visible on a resume or during an interview, such as criminal history or past incidents of workplace misconduct. By conducting employee background checks, you can reduce the risk of hiring someone who may pose a threat to your business, employees, or customers.

Take control of your hiring
Safeguard will work with you to determine what checks are most important for your business and then see that they are executed quickly and accurately so you can hire candidates with confidence.
Criminal Record Checks
Based on name and date of birth, a Criminal Record Check within Canada (CIPC Database) or Internationally will report criminal convictions for offences where the job candidate has not received a record suspension. This screening can help prevent your company from theft, violence or other criminal offenses, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in loss.
Fingerprinting
Enhanced Canadian Criminal Record checks are available through Safeguard partner agencies. Fingerprints are obtained and compared with the Police database in Canada. Fingerprint comparison checks can also be completed through the FBI.
Employment Verification
At Safeguard, we don’t just confirm employment dates and reasons for leaving. We do a deep dive into an applicants performance at their previous employers. This includes the use of detailed forms that question important KPI’s and allow for ratings. This could include simple things like punctuality and customer service skills, but also questions tailored to your business needs. For example, if you are hiring someone to handle cash, drive a forklift or perform certain types of labour we will ask about those things. We will design a tailor made form that works for your business
Education Verification
Embellishing candidate education is a common resume finding. Safeguard contacts the education institutions listed on resumes to ensure candidate accuracy and that education requirements for the position have been met.
