Education
If you fail to conduct proficient employee screening in the education sector, then you’re putting safeguarding, and your school or college’s academic integrity, at risk. In such a high-risk sector doing the right checks verifies qualifications, criminal records, and assesses candidates’ and existing employees' suitability for working in learning environments, helping maintain a safe, professional, and supportive atmosphere.
