Screen for international sanctions and criminal links
A global watchlist check screens candidates against international databases of individuals associated with terrorism, financial crime, fraud, human trafficking, and other high-risk activities. These lists include sanctions from the UN, EU, UK, and US (e.g., OFAC), as well as PEP (Politically Exposed Person) databases.
This check flags potential reputational or legal risks tied to an individual’s global associations — before they’re part of your team.
Hidden risks don’t stop at borders
Hiring someone who appears on a sanctions list or is linked to organised crime, corruption, or terrorism can bring serious legal consequences and brand damage. In regulated sectors like finance, healthcare, education, and security, skipping this check is a compliance failure waiting to happen.
With this check, you can:
- Avoid hiring individuals under international sanctions or investigation
- Meet AML, KYC, and BS7858 compliance requirements
- Protect your organisation from reputational, legal, and financial harm
- Strengthen your risk posture — locally and globally
In a global hiring landscape, local vetting isn’t enough.

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.
Leslie Cooper
HR Manager
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.
