Background screening tracks checks completed outside Asiri, for example by a screening provider. You record what was checked, by whom and the outcome, and a separate company reviewer confirms the evidence.
Who can do this
An owner or editor can record a screening and review one. The person who submitted a record cannot review it.
Before you start
Upload the provider's confirmation to the Evidence library first. Use a confirmation without personal screening details. Keep the detailed report with the external provider.
Record a screening
- Open People & access and choose the person.
- Under Background screening, press Record external screening. The form has steps. Press Continue to move on.
- Describe the Screening scope, and give the Screening provider and Provider reference.
- Give the Record date and the Declared external outcome: Clear within the recorded scope, Further review required or Not completed.
- Choose the Completion confirmation from your evidence.
- If the confirmation expires, give the Confirmation expiry (optional).
- Give a Reason for change and press Save screening record.
The record shows Awaiting independent review. To correct it, press Update screening record.
Review a screening
Someone other than the person who submitted it:
- Presses Review confirmation on the record.
- Reads the declared outcome and dates, and presses View completion confirmation to open the exact file.
- Chooses the Review decision: Accept external confirmation or Return for updates.
- Ticks the box to confirm they personally reviewed the confirmation and scope, and presses Save company review.
