Background Screening vs Background Checks

It’s important to note that there can be subtle differences between these two services. For that reason, these services are sometimes linked together under the term ‘Background Investigations’. In a nutshell, here is a commonly accepted difference between the two main types of Background Investigations:

Background Screening: involves checking facts about a candidate against a list of certain criteria. Furthermore, Background Screening is conducted with the full consent/cooperation of the person being screened.

Background Checks: This is often a broader term and could encompass a wide range of procedures such as marital status, proof of address, any criminal history, etc. (See our Background Checks page)

However, as all our Background Investigation Services are totally bespoke, we will help you determine the level and scope of the information you will need to gather to help make your decisions.
