Case Study: Globally Recognised Financial Institution achieves consistent, compliant global screening and faster hiring decisions with HireRight

How HireRight helps companies like yours identify people risk and retain reputation

A global financial institution faced inconsistent background screening quality and reporting from multiple suppliers across markets such as the UK, USA, India and Asia Pacific. Needing an industry‑leading, auditable programme that met regulatory requirements (including the FCA’s Senior Managers and Certification Regimes), the client wanted to streamline suppliers, improve candidate experience and strengthen compliance and audit capabilities.

HireRight implemented a single, global yet locally adaptable screening programme with an assigned client team, training, a unified portal and candidate‑care services. The result: more consistent, faster decisions — over 5,000 screenings a year, on average 78% of checks flagged noteworthy information, common discrepancies found in non‑employment/CV data, and a UK average turnaround of 9.25 business days (target <15) — delivering reduced hiring risk and improved stakeholder satisfaction.
