Hire with confidence 🚀 with built-in background checks from Remote

Hiring the right employees is critical to growing a successful business — but ensuring candidates meet your company’s standards and compliance requirements can be complex. Many companies struggle with complex background checks that add risk and uncertainty to hiring decisions.

That’s why background checks are now available in Remote! You can now verify a candidate credentials during the onboarding process with streamlined and automated checks.

Why background checks matter

According to Remote's 2025 Recruit Report, 73% of companies have received a resume containing false information. This statistic underscores the importance of thorough background checks in the hiring process.

Without a simple and structured approach , companies face manual verification bottlenecks that slow down hiring, exposure to regulatory risks, and higher chances of making a bad hire, which can impact company culture, security, and business outcomes.
