The top reasons employers worldwide perform criminal background checks are simple: enhanced workplace safety and employee security.  Knowing in advance if a candidate has a violent, threatening or high-risk criminal history, helps employers make stronger hiring decisions based on their organizational risk tolerance, job-specific requirements, industry regulations and other factors. Yet, when it comes to the process of actually performing criminal searches in other countries outside of your location, things get more complicated. This is where First Advantage can help.
