To better understand how S2Verify can help you with your international screening program in the following geographies, go to:
Americas
Our comprehensive background screening program in the Americas is conducted in full compliance with regulations and laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), in all 50 US states and all North and South American countries.
Asia Pacific
As an emerging market, Asia Pacific (APAC) has proven one of the most popular areas for investment, outsourcing, and contingent workforces in recent years. Due to increased pressure from Western influences such as from US and European privacy authorities many countries in Asia have either enacted privacy regimes or are in the process of enacting legislation that further regulates how personal information is managed. The primary purpose of this legislation is to provide practical guidance to employers and their staff on how to properly handle personal data that relates to each phase of the employment process. Failure to abide by mandatory provisions could be weighed unfavorably against an employer. Countries such as Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore have enacted privacy regimes modeled similarly after the EU Data Protection model imposing strict compliance requirements on employers.
Regional background screening programs provide reassurance that local candidates live up to expectations but also enable global HR departments in a challenging and rapidly expanding business environment.
The checks available in APAC will vary by jurisdiction and according to local consumer reporting, human rights, privacy, and employment contexts as applicable. Detailed country by country packages are available upon request. Please contact us for further information.
Europe/Africa/ Middle East (EMEA)Employers involved in the recruitment and selection of candidates throughout Europe should be aware of their responsibilities under relevant Data Protection Directives (privacy), the legal transfer of personal information into and out of the EU and local employment regulations and customs.
The EU and Middle East are two of the most highly regulated regions in the world when it comes to individual privacy. In addition, there are additional pressures to consider when conducting background checks in this area of the world, including: complex data privacy laws, availability of data, legal access to data, multiple languages, diverse cultures and diverse regulations. S2Verify will be your strategic partner helping you to navigate through these issues with detailed country by country screening packages, multilingual forms and customer support in the region.
