The candidate pool has opened internationally because of hybrid and remote working setups, but they also have new verification hurdles. Employers increasingly make use of online screening methods to verify candidates' credentials, criminal records, and identity. Leading software companies such as Atlassian scaled up its offshore remote recruitment during 2024, which resulted in a heightened demand for geography-independent background checks.

Combine Automation and AI to Effect Continuous Screening: Background verification is being transformed through AI-driven solutions that are monitoring staff continuously and in real-time. These solutions are capable of detecting regulatory infractions, license expirations, and recent criminal convictions in real-time. In 2025, Checkr and Veremark launched continuous screening technologies that can be integrated into current HR platforms and provide businesses with real-time, actionable notifications to assist them in actively managing employee risk.

North America leads the employment screening services market because it was the first to adopt technology, has robust infrastructure, and is highly regulated. Employers want background checks that are easy and safe as remote and hybrid work gain popularity. In industries such as IT, banking, and healthcare, the use of AI-powered platforms, real-time tracking, and criminal background checks is on the rise. Additionally, shifting labor rules and increased talent mobility across borders are driving demand.
