It uncovers fake documents, reduces hiring risk and lays the ground for a trustworthy working culture.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Is an Employment Background Check Legal?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Yes. The work is carried out within the framework of KVKK, the relevant legislation and the candidate's explicit consent; documents are obtained from the candidate's own account and data is kept to a minimum.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Which Documents Can Be Verified?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Identity and civil registry, residence, diploma\/Y\u00d6K graduation certificate, certificates, driver\u2019s license, criminal record, military-service status, SGK service record and other documents that may affect the hiring decision.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Are Work Experience and References Checked?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Yes. Work history is compared against the SGK service record; employer, title and dates are confirmed. References are verified through a structured interview.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Do You Conduct Open-Source and Social Media Research?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">On request, yes: public social media, press, trade registry and shareholding records are screened; private accounts are not accessed.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Can Verification Be Done for International Candidates?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Yes, insofar as a suitable source can be accessed: institutions and employers abroad are queried; sanctions, PEP and adverse-media screening are added.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>What Is the Average Turnaround Time?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">1\u20137 business days depending on scope; international queries may extend it. The turnaround is given in writing at scope approval.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>What Is Delivered at the End of Verification?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">A Hiring Trust Check Report: an executive summary, the source and result of each check, any inconsistencies identified, risk indicators and an expert assessment.<\/div><\/details>\n      <details><summary>Can I Manage This Process Myself?<\/summary><div class=\"pz-fa\">Yes.
