How to request your first check

Create your criteria

A criteria is a customizable package of checks tailored to meet your specific needs.

Within the Criteria tab, you’ll find a selection of pre-made criteria featuring the most popular checks in your region. These are designed to get you up and running in no time and include role-specific packages as well as essential checks like Right to Work and Criminal Record.

You can choose a ready-made package or create your own using the Criteria Builder, as shown in the video above. 

To create a custom criteria:

1. Enter a name for your criteria.
2. Select the primary location where you plan to hire.
3. Browse the available checks for that country. The cost of each check is displayed in Veremark credits.
4. Toggle on the checks you want to include and customize them as needed.
5. When you're finished, select Use Now to apply the criteria immediately or Save to use it later.

Veremark credits make it easy to get started immediately—no need for a long-term contract. Plus, you can enjoy discounts on bulk credit purchases.

To build your criteria, simply toggle on the checks you’d like to include and customize them to your specific needs.

In this example, I’m going to add a reference check for two referees and a digital identity check to my criteria. Once I’m satisfied with my selection, I can choose to use this criteria right away or save it for later. For now, I’m going to select ‘Use Now.’

Purchase Credits

The simplest way to pay for checks on Veremark is by purchasing credits. You can buy credits in pre-set bundles or choose a custom amount that suits your needs. 

Bundles of 200 credits or more come with a 10% discount.

Payments are securely processed through our trusted partner, Stripe, ensuring your details are safe.

For added convenience, the system automatically calculates and pre-fills the exact number of credits you need for your first check into the custom field.  

Candidate Details

Now that you've created your criteria and purchased the required credits, the final step is to enter the details of the candidate you would like to screen.

Candidate Name – Enter the candidate's full name.

Email Address – Enter the candidate's email address. This is where the invitation to begin the background check will be sent.

Job Role – Enter the candidate's job role.

Candidate Type – Select the appropriate candidate type. For example, selecting New Hire will reference the candidate's employment application in the invitation email.

Create Request – Once you've entered the required details, select Create Request. The candidate will immediately receive a welcome email with instructions on how to begin the screening process, and the request will appear in your Requests Dashboard, where you can track its progress.
