Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I even allowed to carry out background checks in a GDPR-compliant way?

Yes, absolutely. The GDPR clearly regulates this in Article 6. Legally, you can rely either on "legitimate interest" (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or— the much safer and fairer approach in recruiting—on "consent" (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). That way, you are 100% GDPR-compliant.

Am I even allowed to carry out background checks in a GDPR-compliant way?

Yes, absolutely. The GDPR clearly regulates this in Article 6. Legally, you can rely either on "legitimate interest" (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or— the much safer and fairer approach in recruiting—on "consent" (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). That way, you are 100% GDPR-compliant.

How quickly will I actually receive the results?

Instead of waiting 2-5 days for manual reports, our AI analysis often delivers the first results in just 30 minutes (Essential Check). This significantly speeds up your time-to-hire and gives you the critical edge with your top candidates.

Why can't I just Google it myself or ask ChatGPT?

Googling and using ChatGPT might seem straightforward, but they often provide unclear data and the "knowledge" of AI is limited and often outdated. It's time-consuming and legally risky. Our platform, however, is connected to exclusive, verified data sources like Moody's and LexisNexis. You'll receive a structured, audit-safe report instead of vague assumptions.

What does a background check with Indicium cost?

We offer fair and transparent subscriptions tailored to your annual hiring volume, making your costs 100% predictable with no unforeseen fees. This allows you to seamlessly integrate our tool into your daily routine and evaluate each candidate confidently, without worrying about individual budgets.

Does a background check also protect against internal offenders?

Yes. Pre-employment background checks are the most effective way to prevent insider threats. Indicium automatically screens candidates against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and analyzes company networks—before anyone gains access to sensitive data and systems.

Can I try Indicium for free?

Yes, you can try Indicium free for 14 days—includes 3 checks with no credit card required. Plans start at 1,990 EUR/month. Alternatively, we offer a free 30-minute demo.
