Background Investigations
Many of Canada’s largest companies use Buckingham as an independent solution for in-depth and extensive background checks before hiring a new team member.
As part of the post COVID-19 transition, corporations, small businesses, and everything in between are hiring new employees to bolster their workforce. It is an important process that is exponentially more challenging because the chances of hiring the “wrong person” are also increased. This can be costly for any business.
In addition to the checklist below, the Buckingham professionals will have in-depth conversations where needed to ensure your company has all the necessary background information.
- Verify employment including position, longevity, salary and job performance
- Verify education and academic credentials
- Conduct interviews with references provided by the prospective employee
- Conduct key references not included on the resume or curriculum vitae
- Check criminal record
- Check motor vehicle record
- Conduct a credit check, review compensation and any type of financial information
- Check history online using internet search engines such as Google and social media sites
- Confirm related qualifications for any special requirements of the job
- Arrange for drug screens and physical exams (if necessary for the position)
