When it comes to background screening in Malaysia, not all checks are created equal. That’s why Verity Intelligence offers two distinct solutions:

VERITY BGC – A full-service employment background check suite
VERISafe – A fast, instant screening tool for identifying red flags

While both protect your business, their use cases are different. This article will break down VERITY BGC vs VERISafe, so you know exactly when and how to use each.

At a Glance: Background Check Comparison Table

When to Use VERISafe (Instant Screening Tool)

VERISafe is built for speed and efficiency, helping you identify red flags in seconds.

Use VERISafe when:

• You’re reviewing job applicants in bulk and want to filter out red flags early
• You’re onboarding vendors, gig workers, or freelancers
• You want to run silent screenings internally before initiating full checks
• You need quick insights into global sanctions, court records, or criminal history

When to Use VERITY BGC (Full Background Check)

VERITY BGC is your go-to when you need a deep dive into a candidate’s or employee’s past. It’s ideal when:

• You’re hiring for mid to senior positions
• You need to verify work history, references, or education
• You’re rescreening existing employees during promotion or for jobs with access to sensitive information
• You’re complying with industry standards (e.g., AMLA, MACC Section 17A)

These checks require consent and may involve direct calls to previous employers, universities, and financial databases.

Why Both Tools Are Better Together

The smart approach? Use VERISafe first, then move to VERITY BGC for candidates who pass the initial screening.

Example of screening flow:

1. Run VERISafe on all shortlisted candidates
2. Filter out those with red flags
3. Use VERITY BGC to verify credentials, references, and deeper risks

This saves you time, money, and compliance headaches.

VERISafe is your first filter. VERITY BGC is your final confirmation.

When it comes to background screening in Malaysia, both solutions serve different purposes but they’re even more powerful when combined. Whether you’re screening fast or digging deep, Verity Intelligence gives you tools that are PDPA-compliant, ISO-certified, and trusted by 1,000+ employers.
