Retail depends on trust
Retail businesses operate in high-traffic environments where employees handle stock, process payments, and directly interact with customers. A single bad hire can lead to theft, fraud, reputational damage, or even safety risks for staff and shoppers.
Thorough screening protects against:
- Internal loss and shrinkage
- Identity fraud and false credentials
- Poor customer experiences and complaints
- Regulatory risks when handling sensitive data (e.g., POS systems or loyalty programs)
From store managers to front-line staff, retail teams need to be vetted quickly — but thoroughly. Screening isn’t just helpful — it’s business-critical.
BS7858 fits the retail floor
Originally created for high-risk security roles, the BS7858 screening standard is a perfect fit for retail settings where employees handle money, keys, stock, and sensitive information.
Why it’s ideal for retail:
- Verifies 5 years of employment and address history — critical for spotting red flags or gaps
- Includes ID, AML, and financial checks — ideal for POS access and stock control roles
- Can be applied to any level, from part-time staff to national managers
- Reinforces due diligence across franchises, independents, and national chains
BS7858 is a consistent, scalable standard that helps retailers hire smarter and faster — while reducing loss and liability.

We recently started using CheckProvide to help recruit our in-house Loss Prevention vacancies, we were shocked by how quickly we got our candidates screened. It is incredibly easy to use and the team at CheckProvide are also really quick to respond to any queries and suggestions to improve the user experience.
John Edwards
Loss Prevention Manager
We started working with CheckProvide in October 2023. They have been an incredible solution to our screening problems; they were even able to provide a full BS7858 vetting check in just under 24 hours, which is incredible and really helped us with our urgent staffing needs. And a big thanks to Will Cooper who goes above and beyond to make sure both our CheckProvide account runs smoothly.

I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the exceptional service provided by CheckProvide. Thanks to their efficient and effective services, we were able to screen fantastic staff quickly and easily. Their communication throughout the process was outstanding, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend CheckProvide to anyone seeking top-tier screening solutions.
Ralph Jane
Managing Director
Since using CheckProvide I have found them helpful and innovative. Unlike other platforms their customer service is amazing with weekly calls to see if they can improve and to offer advice. Their dashboard is user-friendly, and their support team is always available. By far the most cost-effective platform for getting screening.
Jenny Philips
Managing Director
In terms of the numbers, we've seen over 30 screenings done in the first three weeks. That would take us four or five months to get to that level. It just saves us so much time in terms of screening. It's revolutionized what we do, really, in terms of good quality screenings coming through, but at a high volume, which is what we need to continue to deliver for our clients. It's just been a pleasure working with the team at CheckProvide, from the account managers to sales managers. The level of support that we've had, unprecedented really, with regards to other providers that we've had. And we're getting the results, which is fundamentally the most important thing.
