Performing Background Checks on a Global Basis
International Background checks have become a critical part of the recruitment process in many countries. Employers with a global presence often seek to harmonize recruitment policies across different jurisdictions but addressing the various restrictions and regulations around international background checks can be challenging.
A Global Guide to Background Checks provides an overview of both the legal and practical issues relating to background checks in 50 key countries.
This is the largest guide to date for international background checks. It covers a wide range of background checks, from criminal record checks through to drug and alcohol testing, and identifies the applicable conditions, restrictions, and sanctions in each country. It also incorporates new “at-a-glance” traffic lights for each region, highlighting whether background checks are standard practice, unusual or prohibited in a particular jurisdiction.
We hope you find A Global Guide to Background Checks useful. It has been made possible with the input from lawyers across Mayer Brown’s global office network and partner law firms in other jurisdictions.
