Recruit without boundaries - Employment Screening for Overseas Candidates
Exploring talent overseas is an alternative solution to the shortage of local manpower. However, companies may encounter challenges in verifying the qualifications and backgrounds of overseas candidates due to differences in languages, local regulations, and cultural practices.
Verifying overseas qualifications and backgrounds often require specific channels or sources. There is added complexity when the verifying party requires the completion of application documents, the provision of supplementary information, or even direct confirmation from the overseas candidate in accordance with local regulations. Such processes can be time-consuming, prolonging the onboarding process. Global third-party verification service providers can use their databases to match suitable verification channels overseas. Together with the support of their local teams and the application of a standardized methodology with alert system, companies can significantly reduce verification time and costs. This, in turn, improving accuracy to prevent the risks associated with false information.
