Pre-Employment Screening Services for UK Businesses

We help businesses make informed hiring decisions with fast, compliant, and hassle-free screening services. From DBS checks to Right to Work verification, our solutions ensure safety, trust, and legal compliance in your workforce.

DBS checks

A Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check is a background screening process used in the UK to help employers make safer hiring decisions. It verifies an individual's criminal record and determines whether they are suitable for roles involving vulnerable groups, such as children or adults at risk. DBS checks are commonly required in sectors like healthcare, education, social work, and financial services.

DBS checks we offer

  • Basic DBS check

    Reveals unspent convictions and conditional cautions.

  • Standard DBS Check

    Shows spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and warnings.

  • Enhanced DBS Check

    Includes everything in a Standard check, plus any additional information held by local police that's considered relevant.
