How does Background Verification (BGV) work on Optymatch?

Optymatch follows a consent-based Background Verification (BGV) process to ensure compliance with privacy and data protection regulations.

The process works as follows:

1. The employer initiates a BGV request for a candidate.
2. Before proceeding, the employer must confirm that the candidate has been informed about the verification request.
3. OptyMatch sends a consent request to the candidate via email.
4. The candidate reviews the request and provides authorisation through a secure consent link.
5. Background verification begins only after the candidate's consent is received.
6. If the candidate does not provide consent, the verification process cannot proceed.

This ensures that all verifications are conducted transparently and with the candidate's knowledge and approval.
