APAC Searches
Civil Litigation
Civil litigation searches can provide insight into characteristics and actions that indicate a propensity for behaviour that might not be conducive to your company culture. Searches in jurisdictions such as Singapore and Hong Kong are easily accessible online with other jurisdictions requiring a manual search.
Criminal Records
The availability and legal use of Criminal Records information varies greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction in Asia Pacific. This search helps provide insight into characteristics and actions that indicate a propensity for behaviour that might not be conducive to your company culture. In certain jurisdiction the candidate may have to make the request in person and in other cases the records may not be centralized so checks need to be performed at a local level in area where the candidate has lived.
