Prices for background checks

A background check, also referred to as employment screening, is important to guarantee the quality and integrity of your organisation. At DISA, we can’t tell you who to hire, we can tell you who you’re hiring. The cost of a background check depends on several factors, such as the scope of the screening and the requirements of the role. Contact us to receive a tailored cost estimate based on your organisation’s needs.

What affects the cost of a background check?

The cost of a background check depends on several factors and is always tailored to the needs of your organisation and the level of responsibility of the role. For example, a background check for a junior administrative position will differ from one for a managing director or senior executive. By choosing the right scope, you ensure a cost-effective screening process that also meets relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

Below are some of the key factors that influence pricing:

The checks included in the screening affect the cost per check. This may include identity verification, education and qualification verification, or criminal record checks in accordance with applicable regulations.

Background checks conducted within Sweden can often be carried out using national registers. For international recruitment, information is verified through local authorities, educational institutions and other reliable sources in the relevant country. As different data sources are used across countries, pricing may vary, while the objective remains the same: to provide a reliable and accurate basis for decision-making.

Positions with greater responsibility or access to sensitive information typically require more comprehensive checks. A managerial role therefore usually involves a broader screening scope than a role without managerial or business-critical responsibilities.

Certain industries are subject to specific regulatory requirements, such as checks related to protected professional titles, certifications or right-to-work verification. These requirements influence which checks need to be included.

The more elements of the screening process that can be completed digitally, the more efficient and cost-effective the process becomes. A higher level of automation contributes to both shorter turnaround times and lower overall costs.

With DISA, you only pay for the background checks you actually carry out. This makes the solution suitable for organisations of all sizes. For higher volumes, we work with you to create a cost-effective solution tailored to your needs.
