We conduct reference checks all over the world, around the clock. Our reference check process provides clients with impartial and objective results.

Reference checks are conducted via telephone by seasoned behavioural interviewers who use exceptional insight, listening skills, judgement and probing techniques. We customize all reference checking questionnaires based on each client, and/or job description. Not only are our questionnaires customized, but we also accept any requests to probe for certain information or areas of concern. We concentrate on the results and demonstrated behaviours of a candidate’s past work history, relying on examples, not only opinions, of demonstrated behaviours. Prior to conducting the reference checks, we also qualify those persons providing references as well, to minimize the risk of misrepresentation.

Employment Confirmations are a straightforward, but not to be overlooked, part of the background checking process, as they are one of the most common areas of misrepresentation on a resume.

An Employment Confirmation is conducted with the candidate’s past employers, confirming details such as employment start and end, position, and if able to provide, reason for leaving. Confirmations are only done with Human Resources or payroll departments, and in some cases, executive management and/or owners. We also confirm contracts for self-employed persons with their past clients.

Employment Confirmations are normally conducted within 5 business days.

Education and Credentials are often the first thing we look for on a resume when looking at job requirement for job fit. It also happens to be one of the main areas of misrepresentation on an candidate’s resume. Education and Credential checks are a must for employers wanting to minimize risk when hiring. Hiring a well-educated, well-trained workforce can be key to your company’s success and growth.

JUST Checking Resources Inc. has several partners around the world and we conduct Canadian and International Education Checks and Credentials. We also conduct many of our education and credential checks in-house to increase turnaround time for our clients.

Canadian education checks are usually turned around within 4-7 business days, and International checks 7-20 business days on average.

Criminal record checks provide information on a candidate’s criminal history.

Our criminal record checks are conducted within Canada, and are pulled from the CPIC (Canadian Police Information Centre) database, Canada’s only national law enforcement networking computer system. CPIC is maintained by the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) with central registry located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

JUST Checking Resources Inc. also provides international criminal checks via respected databases per country/region in most countries over the world. Cost and turnaround time for international criminal checks will vary.

Canadian Criminal Record checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.

A Vulnerable Sector Check is an enhanced version of the Canadian Criminal Record check. This type of record is done on candidates who may be working with children and vulnerable persons. Vulnerable sector checks are used to verify if an individual has a record suspension (formerly pardon) for sex offences.

Vulnerable Sector Checks are conducted in Canada and are pulled from the following sources: The National Repository of Criminal Records, Investigative Data Bank on CPIC, Police Information Portal (PIP), and local police records. Vulnerable Sector Checks are governed by section 6.3(3) of the Criminal Records Act.

Vulnerable Sector Checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours, in most cases.

Individuals under considerable financial stress can be viewed by some companies, for some positions, as a liability. Especially if the positions involve the handling of large sums of funding, budgetary controls, or banking security. A Credit Check can also be used to confirm identity.

JUST Checking Resources Inc. conducts credit checks in Canada via TransUnion and/or Equifax Credit Bureaus, the two most widely utilized bureaus in Canada. We provide “hard checks” (full credit checks), or “soft checks” (just to confirm identity). The details provided in a credit check includes, but is not limited to: bankruptcies, collections, liens, and credit rating.

Credit Checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.

In an increasingly global economy, it is now more important than ever, to do world checks. Many candidates either come from other countries, or have worked or studied outside of Canada, and a World Check can give employers a more thorough insight into possible international activities without having to do a country by country check.

World Checks access the most inclusive, government-published Watch Lists and Global Sanctions data available to ensure our clients utilize only accurate data when determining if a candidate has been listed as barred or censored by a financial, criminal or regulatory authority. We currently obtain target data from over 2000 sources with over 6 million records. Not only does this include data from the Global Terrorist Watch List, but also includes thousands of continuously monitored sources.

World Checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.

For organizations that employ drivers, have company vehicles, or where employees have access to vehicles in order to perform their job, a Driver’s Abstract is a must to avoid potential risk and liability.

Driver’s Abstract record shows a potential history of impaired driving, speeding, reckless driving, driver’s licence details, active suspensions, status of licence and fines – all cited within the past 3 years, depending on the province of residence. Driver’s Abstracts are provincially regulated, and some provinces require specific consent. Otherwise, Driver’s Abstracts are a commonly done pre-employment check.

Driver’s Abstracts are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.

Identity Checks are the most thorough addition to any background check. Misrepresentation of person can be an issue, as some candidates have been known to provide employers with false names, or social insurance numbers. Mostly this is done to prevent employers from uncovering criminal records, or because the person is not eligible to work in Canada. These are only some of the reasons in which a candidate would falsify their identity in order to obtain a job. Needless to say, employees working under false identities, for any reason, open the employers up to liability and risk.

JUST Checking Resources Inc. provides several methods in order to verify identity of candidates, and therefore mitigate risk for employers. These methods include the following checks: Credit Bureau Soft Checks, SIN Validations, and Address Checks.

Identity Checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.

In this new millennium, having an online footprint is becoming more and more common. It is common for people to join social networking websites, user groups, or applications. A Social Network Check can save your organization from potential embarrassment and uncover misleading information provided on a resume. Additionally, a candidate may have competing business interests, could be posting inappropriate comments or disclosing proprietary and confidential information to the online public.

JUST Checking Resources Inc. is able to search these sites and look for any entries from your candidate. We also look at the candidate’s outside-business interests, and any active participation in organized events. Checking newspaper databases, internet resources and identifying the applicant as the author of any postings that could be controversial or not match up with what was stated on resume or during the interview process.

Social Network Checks are normally turned around within 24-48 hours.
