You no longer need to explain Employment Jurisdiction Checks rules every time
Jurisdiction checks often come with a caveat: not every country the candidate lived in requires screening. But how long is “long enough” to matter? That used to depend on our internal thresholds—unless clients sent specific instructions.
We’ve now changed that. Clients can now set their own minimum duration of stay when ordering Employment Jurisdiction Checks (EJC), so we only run checks in countries that meet their internal risk standards.
What’s changed
- Custom threshold input: During setup, clients can now define what counts as a relevant duration of stay—whether that’s 3 months, 6 months, or a year.
- No more side-trackers: Operations no longer need to read through custom instructions or spreadsheets to override the default settings.
- Applies globally: This setting works across all countries where EJC checks are offered.
Why this matters
Previously, if your internal policy required background checks in every country a candidate lived for over 90 days, you had to notify us manually. If you forgot to include that note, the check might be skipped—or triggered unnecessarily.
Now, that policy can be built directly into your setup—saving time, reducing human error, and giving you more control over how risk is managed.

FAQs
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.
