What options do I have when ordering a check?
When ordering a background check in the portal, you can choose between:
- A predefined package – tailored for common role types
- Individual checks – to focus on a specific factor
You can also specify details you'd like us to focus on — such as a specific education or employer.
The goal is for you to get exactly the insight you need!
How do I choose the right level?
A general rule:
The more responsibility a role carries, the more thorough the check should be.
- Basic check: For roles with limited responsibility
- Standard package: Suitable for most typical positions
- Extended package: For roles with high trust, access to sensitive data, or financial responsibility
📌 Not all roles carry the same level of risk. That’s why we offer the flexibility to choose between predefined packages or individual checks so you get insights that are relevant for the role.
