Background Screening Case Study for Maersk

This case study details the background screening process implemented by Maersk, a global leader in transport and logistics. With over 110,000 employees and a presence in 130 countries, Maersk faced challenges in effectively screening job applicants to mitigate risks associated with unsuitable hires.

FA's global compliance expertise and technology enabled Maersk to streamline its background checking process, allowing applicants to apply in multiple languages through various devices. The collaboration resulted in significant time savings and a reduction in unsuitable candidates progressing through the hiring process. The case study highlights the ongoing partnership between Maersk and FA, focusing on continuous improvement in background screening practices and compliance across their global operations.
