What Does a Cheap Background Check Actually Include?

When businesses hear the term "affordable screening," they often worry that they are paying for an incomplete service. Does a cheap background check cut corners? At CheckDulu, the answer is no.
Here is a breakdown of what a high-quality, affordable background check actually includes for Malaysian employers.
Core Components of a Background Check
A standard, cost-effective screening package should cover the essentials required to verify a candidate's identity and history.
1. Identity Verification (NRIC)
The foundation of any check is confirming the candidate is who they say they are. This involves validating their National Registration Identity Card (NRIC) details against official databases.
2. SSM Company Search
For roles claiming previous entrepreneurial experience or high-level corporate positions, an SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia) search verifies if the companies they listed actually exist and their registration status.
3. Education and Professional License Verification
A cheap background check should still verify academic qualifications. CheckDulu cross-references claimed degrees and certifications with university databases and professional bodies (like MIA for accountants).
4. Basic Criminal Record Search
Safety is non-negotiable. Affordable screening tools scan public legal databases and police records to identify any prior criminal convictions.
