Regulated employers need repeatable BGV that survives internal audit and vendor diligence. This checklist focuses on operational clarity: who gets which checks, how consent is captured, and how evidence is stored.
Core checklist
- Identity and address policy by role and location
- Employment verification depth by band (see employment verification)
- Education and professional credential validation for licensed or specialist tracks
- Third-party and outsourced staff alignment with vendor due diligence BGV
- Retention and access control per BGV report storage guidance
Credit and sensitive checks
Where credit verification is in scope, document lawful basis, consent, and escalation for disputes—do not treat credit as a default for every hire.
