Hire with confidence 🚀 with built-in background checks from Remote

Hiring the right employees is critical to growing a successful business — but ensuring candidates meet your company’s standards and compliance requirements can be complex. Many companies struggle with complex background checks that add risk and uncertainty to hiring decisions.

That’s why background checks are now available in Remote! You can now verify a candidate credentials during the onboarding process with streamlined and automated checks.

Why background checks matter

Many companies don’t currently use background checks in their hiring process, exposing them to potential risks like hiring unqualified candidates, falling out of compliance, or onboarding employees with undisclosed legal issues.

Without a simple and structured approach , companies face manual verification bottlenecks that slow down hiring, exposure to regulatory risks, and higher chances of making a bad hire, which can impact company culture, security, and business outcomes.

Introducing background checks in Remote

Now, when onboarding new talent, you can:

• Verify credentials with confidence by confirming a candidates’ education, employment history, and qualifications.

Background checks are completely optional and can be selected individually based on your company’s needs, if permissible, as listed below.

• Education check: Verify a candidate’s education to ensure they meet job requirements
