How does the verification process work?
Once we receive your request and the candidate’s consent, we initiate the background check. We reach out to institutions, former employers, referees, or government agencies to verify submitted information. The process also depends on the clients requirements. A detailed report is then shared with the client.
Why should I conduct background checks?
Background checks help protect your organization from fraud, reduce hiring risks, verify the accuracy of information provided by candidates, and ensure you’re hiring trustworthy individuals.
Are your services legal and data-compliant?
Semafacts Services Limited is a registered Data Processor with the Office of the Data Protection Commissioner (ODPC) and operates within legal frameworks that ensure data privacy and protection.
Can you verify documents issued outside Kenya?
We are able to verify academic certificates, work experience, and official documents issued by international institutions through our global verification networks.
How long do your services take?
Turnaround times vary depending on the type of check. Most services are completed within 1–10 working days, but some verifications may take longer depending on the source.
What if a candidate refuses to sign the consent form?
Without consent, we cannot legally proceed with any checks. In such cases, we inform the client, who may decide how to proceed with the hiring process.
