Why background checks matter

When hiring remotely, it’s important to validate who you're working with. Background checks help verify credentials and ensure you're bringing safe, qualified people into your business. They also help you:

  • Minimize legal, compliance, and reputational risk.
  • Make confident hiring decisions that protect your business and customers.
  • Scale safely with a trusted, high-performing global team.

With HireGlobal, you can get comprehensive background checks for a minimal fee, giving you the assurance you need without the hassle.

What’s available in your global background check

Identity verification

Every worker hired through HireGlobal has their identity verified as part of our standard onboarding, so you can be sure who you’re working with.

Global watchlist screening

We screen candidates against global enforcement and sanctions lists, including Interpol, OFAC, and the FBI, to flag any serious risks before you hire.

Employment verification

We check a candidate’s most recent employers, domestic or international, to confirm titles held, dates of employment, and any unexplained gaps.

Education verification

We can confirm a candidate’s academic background at any level, verifying degrees, diplomas, or certificates earned, institutions they attended, and fields and dates of study.

Adverse media scan

We identify potential red flags through global media sources, public records, and sanctions lists, especially in countries where criminal data is limited.

Criminal record checks

We search databases based on the individual's location to flag serious criminal convictions where available, helping you make safer hiring decisions.
