Experian Background Checking Review
Features:
Editor's Verdict: Experian background checking is one of very few reputable UK-based background checking services in this category – in fact one of the very few background checking websites that covers the United Kingdom at all. Experianbackgroundchecking.com is a business-focused website that specializes in pre-employment screening but also provides a linked service which helps landlords to check out the reliability of potential tenants. Background checks are available at basic, standard or enhanced levels and offer reference checking, identity authentification, financial background checks and driving license checks. One aspect in which Experian lags a little behind the other websites in this category is that its background checking services are currently being run through the company itself with the website as a point of contact, rather than as a true online service. This means that you currently can’t enter the details of the person you want to check out yourself using an online form and get the results back in a couple of minutes, you have to contact the company and they will run the checks for you. Experian are currently in the process of putting together a web-based background checking service but at the time of writing it’s not yet up and running. For similar reasons, the prices you pay will be decided when you contact the company based on your unique screening needs and are not available on the website. This makes getting any idea of the sort of value for money you can expect from Experian very difficult. Tenant checking via Experian is already a much more streamlined online process. It incorporates elements of the criminal record checking process as well as drawing on other additional sources of data. It also performs an instant affordability calculation based on the results, estimating how much rent this person will realistically be able to pay. There are two different levels of check you can run, basic or comprehensive, and several different aspects of suitabilty on which the subject is scored, including their job prospects, fraud records and credit history. The form you fill in is also interactive, giving you an ongoing idea of how likely a potential tenant is to be suitable as you enter more and more details, before you even submit the form or pay a penny! Though Experian are based in the UK, their reach is international. Customer support is available not just be email, but also via phone, which is always a plus. The website also includes a section for news updates about recruitment and background checking. Some of these are quite informative but many boil down to a fairly transparent “this is why you need to run a background check” moral. In summary, Experian are a reputable and professional background checking service but do not yet offer online searching. Nor do they offer any people-finding services or background checking facilities aimed at individuals rather than businesses. Even so, given the paucity of decent background checking websites in Britain, they’re still one of the best options for UK companies wanting to outsource their employee screening.
