Employee Credit Check

Employee Credit Checks enable employers to assess a candidate’s financial background and help to mitigate against possible risks posed to their business by individuals under financial stress.

The Employee Credit Check returns information from the employee’s credit report including court and insolvency data e.g. Court Judgments, edited Electoral Roll information and a credit score. Linked addresses and alias names are automatically searched even if they are not disclosed by the candidate.

We suggest you talk to your candidate about the circumstances that led to the judgment/insolvency. For some individuals there will have been mitigating circumstances such as losing their job, serious illness or family problems and others may be able to demonstrate steps they have taken to avoid further episodes in the future. This additional information will enable you to accurately assess the risk posed by the candidate and whether they are suitable for the intended role.
