FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Trapezoid Limited demystifies employment background checks: what they include, how long they take, and how to prepare.
A background check will investigate a candidate's background based on criteria determined by their prospective or current employer. A check of a candidate's background may include employment, education, bio-data, address checks. Each type of check will reveal different information pertinent to that check.
Depending on the nature and scope of the background check an employer has requested, an average employment background check will typically take about two weeks to complete. However, a background check may take longer for a variety of reasons including difficulty establishing contact with former employers or educational institutions, or when background history includes information outside of Nigeria requiring additional authorization and releases. If the information that is requested in the initial background check is already provided, it helps speed up the verification.
Requirements vary by service. Common items include a letter from the company authorizing verification, subject consent (especially for foreign certificates), clear photocopies of documents, employer contact details, current residential addresses and a utility bill for neighbourhood checks, and NYSC certificates with call-up numbers. See each service page for specifics.
Yes. We conduct verification of certificates and licenses obtained from professional bodies globally. Foreign certificate verification may require additional consent and releases. Non-Nigerian employers and education institutions similarly may require additional information and time to respond.
