Our approach
Honest about how this works
We deliver international checks through our network of trusted screening partners in each country. Every country has different laws, processes, and requirements for background checks. Rather than pretending we have offices in 200 countries, we work with established local providers who understand their jurisdictions.
What this means for you
- We coordinate everything (you don't deal with multiple vendors)
- Single point of contact (us, not overseas partners)
- Consolidated reporting in English
- Quality control and oversight
- Same service standards you expect from ESG

Common questions
Which countries can you cover?
200+ countries. The most common ones we handle regularly (UK, USA, Canada, India, Philippines, China) have well-established processes.
What if the applicant has lived in multiple countries?
We can coordinate checks across multiple countries.
Do you translate results?
Yes. Results are provided in English, with translations included where the original documents are in other languages.
What if records aren't available in that country?
Some countries don't maintain accessible criminal records, or have restrictions on who can access them. We'll tell you upfront if a country doesn't support background checks, and suggest alternatives where possible.
