Background & employment checks

Employment verification services

Verify work history, qualifications and credentials before you hire — so every hiring decision is based on facts.

Hire with confidence

A bad hire is costly. Indigo Flex Consulting verifies the information candidates give you — previous employment, academic qualifications and professional credentials — so your hiring decisions are based on facts, not assumptions.

Checks are carried out with the candidate’s consent and reported back to you clearly, whether you are hiring one specialist or onboarding a whole team. Verification can be ordered on its own or as part of our end-to-end recruitment service.

Who it’s for

  • Employers and HR teams hiring for junior or senior roles
  • Staffing and recruitment agencies
  • Organisations in banking, finance, technology, education, manufacturing and NGOs
  • Teams onboarding contractors or deployed staff
