complexities of international screening, mitigating risks and ensuring compliance with relevant laws and standards.
Data Privacy Regulations
Data privacy is constantly evolving, with regulations like the Privacy Act 1988 in Australia and the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) in Japan dictating how personal information is collected, stored, and used. Our screening processes adhere to these stringent guidelines, ensuring transparency in data handling and providing candidates with control over their personal information.
National Criminal Record Availability
Some nations have comprehensive databases, while others offer limited access or require specific legal justifications. Where the law permits, our team leverages alternative methods, like adverse media checks, to provide a holistic view of a candidate's background while remaining compliant with local regulations.
Discrimination Laws
Anti-discrimination laws in many countries prohibit hiring decisions based solely on criminal history. These regulations often dictate timeframes for considering past offences and the relevance of convictions to the specific job role. Our customizable pre-employment screening packages empower you to tailor your searches to focus on relevant convictions within legal parameters, preventing discriminatory practices.
