Built to provide reassurance for global hiring

Avoid juggling external vendors. Conduct background checks inside Remote for both employees and contractors.

Seamless, self-serve experience

Background checks are integrated into Remote’s onboarding process. There’s no third-party vendor to manage. Results arrive quickly, with transparent tracking in your Remote dashboard.

Flexible and cost-effective

Pick the checks you need for each hire, with transparent pricing guidance. Stay in control of costs while meeting your specific compliance requirements.

Country specific by design

Every check is customised to the candidate’s jurisdiction and processed securely by Veremark.

“If we had to manage and coordinate everything in-house, it would cost us well over $500,000 more each year. Remote not only eliminates that financial strain but also takes the operational burden off our plate, allowing us to focus on growing our business with confidence and efficiency.”
