LONDON, Nov. 6, 2009 (PR Newswire Europe) --
ADP, the leading global supplier of payroll and human resources (HR)
services, has today announced a strategic partnership with BackCheck, a
division of Checkwell - one of the world's leading providers of employment
screening services. The partnership will enable ADP UK to offer its clients
an integrated employment screening service through BackCheck's platform.
BackCheck protects organisations from employing fraudulent, dishonest or
otherwise unsuitable candidates through employment history, right to work
verifications, reference and criminal checks, among other services. The
partnership with ADP will create a unique integrated proposition whereby the
HR/Payroll solution can alert managers when the necessary screening is
incomplete giving consistency of policy application across the organisation.
Commenting on the partnership, Don McGuire, Managing Director ADP
Employer Services said: "Employment screening is increasingly important in
the UK given the increased regulation and accountability placed on employers,
as well as the issue of candidates willing to embellish skills and experience
on their CV or in interviews. This partnership with BackCheck allows us to
further expand our HR offering with a highly experienced and market leading
service provider."
Dave Dinesen, President and CEO of BackCheck said: "Offering an
integrated employment screening service with an HR and Payroll provider
provides real benefits to clients. We are very excited about partnering with
ADP, the biggest payroll and HR service provider in the world, with an
unbeatable and trusted heritage."
