Employee Background Check | Horizons Bulgaria


Horizons® Bulgaria · Screening & Compliance

Employee background check

In the recruitment process, trust in candidates is essential. Whether it is about a strategic position, a sensitive role, or rapid team expansion, companies need certainty that they are choosing reliable and qualified professionals. Horizons Bulgaria® offers a complete employee background check service, fully aligned with Bulgarian and European legislation.

Overview

What does the check include?

Our background check service covers all the key aspects necessary for making an informed hiring decision. It is a structured verification process aimed at confirming the accuracy of the candidate’s information and identifying potential risks for the employer.

Core verifications

Identity verification

Confirms the candidate is a real person with valid documents matching official records – a critical defense against fraud and identity theft, cross-checked with official registers.

Employment history verification

Confirms the resume reflects the candidate’s actual background, reducing risks of exaggerated responsibilities, hidden failures, or fake employers.

Education verification

Confirms the authenticity of diplomas and degrees, avoids risks of forged credentials, and verifies the legitimacy of the educational institution.

Deeper screening

Criminal record & global database screening

Criminal record check

Critical when the role involves:

  • Access to sensitive information or assets
  • Working with vulnerable groups (children, elderly, patients)
  • Financial or managerial responsibilities
  • International projects and regulatory requirements
Global database screening

Essential for companies operating in regulated sectors, with international partners, or internal compliance and security policies. Horizons Bulgaria® provides access to global sources that identify potential sanctions, criminal ties, money laundering, or political exposure.

Optional

Additional checks

In certain cases, employers need extended information beyond standard checks on employment, education, and criminal history. Horizons Bulgaria® offers additional flexible checks that are fully compliant with current legislation and are carried out ethically, confidentially, and with prior written consent from the candidate.
