Asia Pacific
Kroll has had a presence in the Asia Pacific region (APAC) for more than 20 years. Through our offices in the region and global professionals we service Background Screening clients, as well as organizations requiring services from Kroll’s Consulting, Electronic Evidence/Data Recovery, and Security practices.
The Asia Pacific Background Screening team, based in Hong Kong, has been expanding the global scope of background screening by providing local support for international clients and developing a local client base. The availability of information, language and legal issues vary hugely across the region requiring local knowledge, understanding and research capabilities.
Background screening is becoming more commonplace in Asia as international organizations extend their internal policies and through local operations embracing best practice processes. Kroll's Asia Pacific Background Screening team has expanded to encompass client support, account management, and business development from its headquarters in Hong Kong along with analysts in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and India.
Kroll’s locations in the region include:
- Australia: Sydney, Brisbane
- China: Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai
- India: Mumbai, New Delhi
- Japan: Tokyo
- South Korea: Seoul
- Singapore
With the ever-growing trend of globalization, people’s histories often cover multiple jurisdictions. And while advances in transportation and technology have made it easier to do so, they’ve only made the background screening process more complex. When it comes to international background screening, there is no such thing as a simple search. As the leader in international background screening, we are fully dedicated to thoroughness and accuracy and treat compliance as an essential part of your business model.
International screening is often largely performance-based. Screening in the Asia Pacific region focuses on verification of employment, education, and professional standing. Kroll is adept at recognizing how the skills and qualifications in one nation translate to another. We know the type and quantity of information available and what can legally be transmitted across borders. In addition, Kroll is aware of national trends in specific industries like financial services, where candidates tend to move from one employer to another.
