Chosen by half of the Financial Post 100
BackCheck has screened over 2 million Canadians for 5000+ organizations.

 
 
Candidates with a criminal past often look for ways to manipulate the system, providing potential employers with fake names or social insurance numbers to prevent them from uncovering records. Checking a candidate’s photo identification is critical to verifying their identity; however, falsified documents can be hard to identify, and can expose employers to risk.

 

Verify Identity

BackCheck's Identity Cross-Check is designed to verify your employment candidates' identity while not acquiring financial information. With Identity Cross-Check, we use the ID component of a Credit Bureau Inquiry service to cross-reference against the information provided by your candidate.

Expose More Criminal Records


The Identity Cross-Check reveals inconsistencies between what your candidate says today about themselves and what has been gathered over time by the credit bureau. By comparing Identity Cross-Check details with your candidate's consent forms, we can expose up to 30% more criminal records, as held by CPIC, by revealing unknown or "forgotten" aliases, incorrect information, and common name misspellings.

BackCheck in Action - Identity Cross-Checks

Cross-examination of Information Pays Off
BackCheck received results from our police partners for a criminal record check on an applicant for a large organization. Strangely, the results included offence details dated before the applicant's date of birth! After close examination it appeared that the applicant lied about their date-of-birth, place-of-birth, and even last name! Upon collecting accurate data from the applicant and their true identity, 2 incidents of sexual assault among other offences were discovered on the applicant's criminal record.
