Background Checks
Criminal record checks before you make the offer.
Can you check a candidate's criminal record in South Africa? Yes, with their written consent. We run the check in your workflow, before you make the offer.
When to use it
Run a criminal record check for any role where trust and safety matter — especially roles involving vulnerable people, finances, or security.
Consent required
A criminal record check requires the candidate's written consent. PlacementPlus captures and records that consent inside the platform, so you have a defensible audit trail.
Turnaround
Results are typically returned within 48 to 72 hours, depending on the check type and the records involved. You can track status inside the platform.
What the report shows
The report confirms whether a criminal record exists. Where one does, the details are provided so you can assess relevance to the role and make an informed decision.
Add criminal record checks to your hiring workflow.
Every check is captured, consented and recorded — before the offer goes out.
