Background Check
Verify with Confidence
MCC provides a trusted, discreet, and reliable verification service for employers, individuals, and businesses.
The Challenge Of Trust
Can you vouch for the authenticity of the documents on which your business decisions are based? Do you have a process for checking the originality of employee credentials? The possibility of having employed people with fraudulent documents directly correlates with incidences of theft, poor performance, and reputational damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a background check cover, and can we customise it for specific roles?
Our checks cover identity verification, academic and professional credential validation, employment history, criminal record screening, guarantor verification, and address confirmation. Every check is scoped to the role - what we run for a cashier differs from what we run for a CFO. We customise accordingly.
How long does the process take, and will it slow down our hiring?
Standard checks are completed within 5-7 working days. Criminal record checks are faster. Academic verification can extend to two weeks where institutions require direct engagement. We run checks in parallel with your hiring process so your timelines are not disrupted.
Is it legally required to inform a candidate before running a background check?
Yes. Under Nigerian data protection obligations - including the Nigeria Data Protection Act (NDPA) 2023 - candidates must be informed and their consent obtained before checks are initiated. We manage this process for you, ensuring full legal compliance and documented consent at every stage.
What happens if a check uncovers discrepancies?
All findings are documented precisely and presented in a structured report with supporting evidence. We flag each discrepancy clearly - distinguishing between minor inconsistencies and material misrepresentation - and advise on appropriate next steps. The decision on how to proceed remains with you.
Can you run background checks on candidates outside Nigeria, or on staff already hired?
Yes on both counts. We conduct international background checks through verified partner networks. Checks on existing employees are equally available and advisable - particularly for staff in roles involving financial authority, data access, or client-facing responsibilities.
