Welcome to HireRight!

YES. HireRight’s processes are designed to ensure that we maintain compliance with all applicable federal, state, provincial, local and global laws that are applicable to HireRight as a screening provider. As an example, in Canada, HireRight complies with PIPEDA, and HireRight’s Toronto office is a Consumer Reporting Agency that is registered under the Ontario Consumer Reporting Act. In the US, HireRight complies with the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the applicable state consumer reporting laws. HireRight monitors developments, proposed legislation and actual changes to these laws on an ongoing basis, and we evaluate and update our products, services and procedures as needed in order to facilitate our compliance with those laws.

HireRight’s Canada Criminal Check is a name-based criminal record verification service that utilizes data from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC), a central database maintained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The CPIC is a national database that is used by law enforcement agencies across Canada. Given its national reach, the HireRight Canada Criminal Check helps identify candidates whose background may warrant further investigation.

The HireRight Canada Criminal Check provides the option of a completely online experience for your candidate, including completing the identity verification, providing the self-declaration of criminal history and completing the required consent form. Our electronic identity verification process asks the candidate questions related to their unique life history and financial transactions. When these questions are answered successfully, the candidate’s identity is authenticated for the purpose of submitting the Canada Criminal Check, and no further identity verifications or witnesses are required. If the candidate does not want to complete or is not successful at completing the electronic identity verification, then a paper-based identity verification process, which requires two pieces of identification and a witness signature, is required.

HireRight has extensive compliance and best practices expertise with respect to privacy regulations. Our solution features country-specific, rules-based logic so that only relevant data is requested from the applicant. HireRight’s online data collection forms automatically change according to the country requested.
