Checks included
The Airside pass check includes a Basic DBS level criminal record check on your candidate(s). This check will provide details of any unspent convictions that a candidate may have and is key to making safer recruitment decisions for your organisation.
*England and Wales checks only - additional cost for Scotland, Northern Ireland or international variations may apply.
Verifying the identity of the candidate being screened is the foundation of all screening checks and packages. This ensures all other screening is completed on the principle that the candidate is who they say they are. As such, any flaw or omission in the candidate ID verification can compromise any further screening checks being conducted.
There are two core elements to what most organisations refer to as an employment reference check: employment verification (date and role confirmation from previous employer) and substantive referencing (meaningful commentary on conduct and competence of individual being referenced).
Many organisations not required to by statutory or regulatory obligation will opt to satisfy just the former when they should be mindful of both.
We’re experts in facilitating employment credit checks and varying levels, including standard checks based on five years of address history. Our reports clearly highlight any missed payments, defaults, county court judgements (CCJs) or bankruptcies, as well as any linked addresses the candidate may or may not have declared during their application.
We can also process a further check using Credit Account Information Sharing (CAIS) data allowing us to review candidates’ full financial history including current accounts, credit cards, secured and unsecured debt, defaults and other measures of financial probity.
*UK checks only, additional costs for international variations.

Airside pass FAQs
An airside pass is a security clearance that allows individuals to access restricted areas of an airport.
An airside pass is required for various roles based on their access needs and duration of stay at an airport, including airport employees (security, operations, customer service, shop and restaurant staff), airline staff (pilots, flight attendants, ground crew), ground handling staff (baggage handlers, ramp agents), contractors (maintenance personnel, construction workers, service providers like cleaning, catering, IT support), and temporary or visitor passes for brief access, short-term staff, and contractors on short-term projects or maintenance tasks.
The duration of an airside pass varies. Temporary passes are valid for short periods (e.g., 5 days, 30 days, or the duration of a specific project), while full passes can last up to 5 years, depending on airport policies and the nature of employment.
