We are a Toronto based Professional Services firm with 4 different practice areas including a sought after IT Security services practice that includes bgcheck.ca. Our IT Security practice offers many specialized services, one of which is background checks for job applicants and we can easily meet the needs of any business that is facing the challenges of new staff employment. The requirements of every business are as unique as their job applicants are. Thus, we fully believe that every company needs an individual approach and solution, and we customize our services according to the specific requirements of every customer. All you have to do is sit back and concentrate on candidate selection, while our team of professionals deliver you reference validation, a verified education history, or a criminal record check of any potential employee.

Security Tie-In

Background and reference checking should be a critical component of a larger corporate-wide security policy. A key driver that connects these elements is that 70% of all security breaches are employee involved. Sometimes the involvement is accidental or an employee error (an employee track record of frequent errors of this type is highly relevant here), but sometimes the employee is complicit in the breach - all the more reason to assure that the best filtering process is in place in the hiring cycle. IT Security has two sides to it – Technical Controls (firewalls, passwords etc…) and Administrative Controls (Administrative controls include the developing and publishing of policies, standards, procedures, and guidelines; the screening of personnel; conducting security-awareness training; and implementing change control procedures). Background and Reference checking should be part of an Administrative control framework. Obscuring or even not disclosing a criminal past can also present future security issues. IT Security is about mitigating and eliminating potential exposure to risk - so is reference and background checking.

Professionalism

We conduct ourselves as professionals and we adhere to strict standards. We are familiar with the specific Human Rights legislations of each of the geographies we work within and meet or exceed the standards set forth in those documents. We have examined many candidate records and have conducted many reference checks and we will continue to assist our customers in employing the best quality job applicants possible by quickly retrieving precise and reliable information directly from relevant sources. Our aim is to meet the highest standards of customer service throughout the whole background check process. Delivered in the way you want them, our reports are your best bet for validating your top-notch selections.

Online reference check

You can take advantage of our web based self-service application for initiating and tracking references to investigate an applicant's professional background. Our on-line applications allows to monitor our progress in real time and is a further guarantees of high quality of information. The application is easy to use and allows us to track the candidate’s references and responses to any questions on his/her working performance and personal suitability. Our web based tool is just one of the many things that differentiate us from other firms.

Legal Compliance

As every employment background check report contains private information about each candidate, we believe that it’s critically important to adhere to the standards and regulations set forth across Canada. As you are likely aware, as an employer, you must meet a number of employment regulations when performing reference and other background checks – we assure that our services do not compromise that employment requirement. We can provide you with all necessary release forms to stay within the framework of National and Provincial employment law. Our team of dedicated professionals will work in close cooperation with your company to find an effective solution that will help you make a secure and well-informed hiring decision and mitigate the risks involved in your business expansion.
