Trusted International Background Checks for Global Hiring Compliance

International Background Screening Services in 165 Countries 

Take all the twists, turns, complexities and legalities associated with domestic U.S. employment background screening… and multiply it by at least 165! That is the very essence of the international background screening environment, and nobody knows it better or does it better than the professionals at Accurate Information Systems.

With the added complexities, laws, and customs of a different country, it is even more important to have an international background screening partner you can trust.

Protect Your Business with Accurate International Background Screening 

A well-structured and well-executed international background screening program offers clear benefits for companies hiring across borders. AIS helps employers reduce risk, improve hiring decisions, and build a stronger workforce by delivering international checks that are tailored to the candidate, the country, and the role.

International screening helps employers identify the best candidate for the position with stronger information upfront. That means less guesswork, fewer delays, and better hiring decisions.

International hiring often involves sensitive personal information and records from multiple jurisdictions. AIS handles that information with care, using compliant and confidential screening processes.

Well-executed international screening helps attract stronger recruitment prospects while deterring individuals with less credible qualifications or intentions. The result is a more confident, unified, and reliable workforce.

Turnaround times vary by country and service, but speed still matters. We work to deliver international background checks as efficiently as possible while navigating local laws, customs, and record retrieval requirements.

No two international cases are exactly the same. We tailor each screening package to the candidate’s history, the country involved, and the level of due diligence required.

How Our International Background Screening Process Works

International hiring can be complex, but the screening process should not be. AIS guides employers through each stage of international background screening so they can move from candidate selection to final review with clearer expectations, stronger compliance, and better global hiring support.

01

Submit Candidate Details
The process begins with the candidate’s basic information, including the countries relevant to their background. This helps us determine which records may be available and what checks are appropriate for the role and jurisdiction.

02

Select Screening Package
We help you choose the right screening package based on the position, the level of risk, and the countries involved. This allows your international background check service to match the hiring decision in front of you, rather than forcing every case into the same process.

03

We Verify Data Globally
Once the scope is confirmed, we begin verifying records through the appropriate sources in each country. Depending on the location, this may include criminal records, employment history, education history, identity confirmation, or other country-specific checks.

04

Receive Compliant Report
When the screening is complete, we provide a clear, easy-to-follow report that helps your team review the findings and move forward with confidence. The final report is prepared with attention to the local and international compliance considerations that apply to the search.
