Improved CV upload process for better compliance and security
Ensuring the integrity of candidate submissions is a crucial part of the hiring process. To enhance compliance and reduce the risk of fraudulent disclosures, we’ve made key improvements to the CV upload process. Moving forward, only clients will have the ability to upload CVs, ensuring greater control over candidate documentation.
Let’s explore the details of this update and how it strengthens the verification process.
The challenge with previous CV uploads
Previously, candidates were able to upload their own CVs, which introduced risks such as falsified or misrepresented information. Without direct client control over document submissions, there was a greater chance of discrepancies that could lead to compliance issues and increased verification workload.
Additionally, some clients needed clearer guidance on CV submission protocols to maintain consistency across all candidate applications.
Our solution: a client-only CV upload process
To mitigate these risks and improve the integrity of candidate records, we’ve introduced the following updates:
- Client-only uploads: Now, only clients can upload CVs via the existing platform functionality, preventing candidates from submitting their own documents.
- Restricted visibility: Candidates will no longer have access to uploaded CVs, ensuring that only verified documentation is stored and reviewed.
- Clear guidance: We’ve added an updated pop-up message to provide clients with clear instructions on how and when to upload CVs.
By implementing these measures, we aim to create a more reliable and secure document submission process.
How this benefits your hiring workflow
- Stronger compliance: Limiting CV uploads to clients helps maintain data accuracy and ensures all documents meet verification standards.
- Reduced risk of falsification: With direct client control over submissions, the risk of fraudulent or altered CVs is significantly minimized.
- Improved efficiency: Clear guidelines and a streamlined process mean fewer discrepancies and faster candidate evaluations.
Using the improved CV upload process
These updates are now live and available for all clients. When handling candidate applications, clients can upload CVs directly through the existing platform functionality, ensuring all documents are properly vetted and controlled.
With this improvement, we’re reinforcing our commitment to providing a secure and transparent hiring process, giving you confidence in the authenticity of every submission.

This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
