Background Check and Screening

Check business relationships and applicants in advance

00_00_LAG-Background-Check-720x480

Hiring new employees or entering into new business relationships always involves potential risks. To minimize such risks, companies use background checks, pre-employment checks or background screenings. Information is obtained by means of in-depth searches for information in public (e.g. commercial register, Internet) and non-public sources (e.g. providers of compliance databases) as well as in the environment (e.g. social media). This information is checked for truthfulness, completeness and stringency and summarized in a confidential report.

To the offer

When does a background check make sense?


Background checks are important screening elements and bases for decision-making when establishing business relationships or can be used as a supplementary recruiting tool. They protect companies and private individuals from possible damage.

A background check is useful for the following situations:
