Frequently asked questions about Reference Checks

Read our frequently asked questions below to get more insight about the solutions we offer.

Reference checks are vital for verifying the accuracy of a candidate’s resume, understanding their work performance and habits, and assessing their fit within the company culture. They help reduce hiring risks by providing third-party insights into the candidate’s professional behavior and potential for growth, ensuring a more informed hiring decision.

The typical turnaround period of 5-7 working days (for local subjects) and 8-10 working days (for international subjects) will start after the payment is made or a purchase order is issued.
This will also depend on the number of subjects and the area of checks involved.

At the end of the turnaround period, we will issue a Background Screening Report for each subject containing the findings we collected from the background screening exercise.

Reference checks should be conducted after the interview process when a candidate is a serious contender for the position but before extending a job offer. This ensures that all key information is verified and that the candidate’s qualifications and fit are thoroughly assessed, enabling a well-informed hiring decision. Always obtain the candidate’s permission before contacting their references.

We will need you to submit your subject’s / employee’s personal documents to us usually via email. The type of documents we need will depend on the area of ‘checks’ you would like to do.

For example, if you would like to do a basic pre-employment check, i.e. Criminal Record Checks & Employment History Verification, we will need these documents:

  1. Letter of Consent & Authorisation signed by the subject/employee
  2. A copy of the subject’s / employee’s Identification Document (MyKad or Passport)
  3. A copy of the subject’s / employee’s latest resume/CV
    Additional Area of Checks may require additional documents of the subject/employee.

Currently, there is no legislation in Malaysia that directly regulates this industry/service. However, our practices are in compliance with the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA 2010). As required by the PDPA 2010, we will only commence with the background screening/checks on the subjects who have given us their written consent. The data and information collected during the screening exercises are treated as sensitive Personal Data.

Additionally, for background screening for Financial Institutions, we comply with the Policy Document issued by Bank Negara Malaysia on Employee Screening which was issued on 9 March 2018.
