Background checks
By conducting various background checks, you can ensure whether a (potential) employee is suited for a certain position.
Background checks – why is it important?
The success of an organisation depends on having the right employees. It is, therefore, important to make sure you know who you are recruiting and retaining. Employment screening can provide certainty in this regard. By conducting various background checks, you can ensure whether a (potential) employee is suited for a certain position.

What background checks does DISA perform?
An identity check, or ID check, is the most frequently performed check within DISA's screening profiles. The identity of a (potential) employee is verified by examining a passport, ID card, or residence permit. DISA performs identity checks on both a national and an international level for businesses across Europe.
DISA performs education checks. We verify diplomas that are attained at the candidate’s highest level of education across worldwide institutes. Training or course certificates or grade list cannot be verified.
Checking the creditworthiness of (potential) employees offers insight into possible (financial) risks. Relevant information from courts, bailiffs, and debt collection agencies is consulted, and payment arrears are checked. The application procedure for an international creditworthiness check differs per country.
DISA assists organisations in obtaining international criminal record checks. DISA has access to an extensive database of countries where we can request an international criminal record check or check with the relevant country’s embassy. This process differs per country.
DISA checks the work experience of a (potential) employee. An appointed referee or HR department is approached to verify the period of employment, stated position, and employer.
DISA examines global accounts of money laundering, (financial) fraud, the financing of or participation in criminal organisations, and drug-related crime. A team of researchers checks daily publications from financial, regulatory, and disciplinary authorities worldwide. However, anti-corruption agencies such as Interpol, Europol, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are also consulted.
The candidate must upload the three most recent salary slips here and one bank statement from his/her bank account where the salary deposit can be seen. DISA checks whether the documents are present and it is up to the client to review these documents.
”It is very important for us to employ people with integrity. We perform several background checks because we work in financial services, and also to give us peace of mind. That's why we use DISA. They make the process of eliminating risk easy and smooth.”
