Criminal Background Checks Malaysia
Keep your business and employees safe by making the most informed hiring and recruitment decisions with Sterling RISQ’s Background Checks.
New employees gain access to your client base, your processes and systems, and are an investment of time and money. Make sure you’re hiring the right person for the role by conducting checks to confirm their experience and background. All hiring and recruitment decisions carry significant risk – it’s vital that you have all the information available when making your hiring decision to ensure you hire candidates of suitable integrity and honesty for your business.
Sterling RISQ’s advanced background check technology helps you to ensure you are prepared and have a comprehensive understanding of the candidate’s background prior to making your decision. We can tailor a package for your hiring needs as background checks will vary based on the type of role and industry in which you operate.
What is included in a Background Check in Malaysia?
A background check can involve a variety of services depending on the role you’re hiring for, as well as the industry in which you operate. For example, certain industries like healthcare and government services, will require a higher level of screening than retail or sales roles.

What are the benefits of Background Checks for companies and organisations in Malaysia?
There are several reasons why companies and organisations should conduct background checks on their candidates:
- Protect your business and employees from engaging with unsuitable candidates by verifying your candidate’s history prior to employment. This minimises the financial and people risk associated with new employees.
- Hiring and recruitment is one of the most time-consuming and costly investments a company can make. Protect this investment by conducting background checks to make the best decision possible with all the information available to you. This investment in the short-term can make a huge difference in the long-term outcome, particularly when hiring senior officials and management-level executives.
- With increasing reports of discrepancies in applications made by candidates, don’t just rely on a candidate’s representation via their CV and their self-provided references. Make sure you are getting the full picture by conducting a thorough background check to obtain the correct information about a candidate. This simply ensures that you are choosing candidates that can get the job done.
- There have been many recent cases in which reputable companies and organisations have been misled by senior officials’ statements about their qualifications – universities, multinational companies, and other organisations have all been caught up in scandals involving misrepresentation by their employees. Make sure you protect your company’s reputation from this potential negative publicity by conducting background checks on employees prior to hiring.
- An employer may also have the potential to be held liable for an employee’s actions on behalf of the company. This is further incentive to ensure that you have made the correct hiring decision from the outset to minimise risk in the long-term.
Which industries and situations are most suitable for Background Checks in Malaysia?
- Any environment where “vulnerable” or “special needs” populations are involved (e.g. aged care, children, people with disabilities)
- Financial Services
- Healthcare
- Legal Services
- Manufacturing, Transportation & Construction
- Energy & Utilities
- Government & Education
- Any occupation requiring licensing or registration
- Hiring employees who have previously resided overseas
These industries and situations would most benefit from thorough background checking to ensure candidates are suitable for work in this environment. However this is not an exhaustive list as every business is at risk when hiring new employees. We would recommend all businesses conduct background checking for maximum peace of mind.
