Thank you for joining “The Ins and Outs of Employment Background Screening”

Dear members and guests,

We  would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who joined us at the Swedish Chamber of commerce for The Ins and Outs of Employment Background Screening event held together with Validata. Your presence and engagement made it a truly insightful evening.

Special thanks to Harm Voogt, Managing Director of Validata and our esteemed Patron Member, for leading us through an engaging session filled with expert insights, interactive discussions, and meaningful dialogue on the future of employment screening.

From the warm welcome and registration to the closing networking drinks, we explored key industry topics, including:

  • The growing necessity of background screening across sectors
  • Challenges and solutions in implementing effective screening processes
  • A competitive look at screening practices in the Netherlands vs. Sweden
  • How global trends, including AI and remote work, are shaping the future of screening

We also got to hear the inspiring journey of Validata, from its founding in 2009 to its recent integration with DISA Global Solutions, marking a new chapter of growth and innovation.

This event highlighted the cultural, regulatory, and technological factors that influence background screening, as well as the importance of clear communication and policy consistency across regions.

We hope you left with valuable insights and new connections. We look forward to welcoming you to our future session

Harm Voogt Managing Director, Validata Group
Harm is a leading figure in the international screening industry. In 2009, Harm co-founded Validata Group in Amsterdam, driven by the insight that the process of verifying (potential) employees' data was fraught with inefficiencies. Over the past 15 years, alongside Job van der Weijden and Bart Bijkerk, Validata Group transformed into a European leader for employment screening, addressing the complex challenges of data privacy and accessibility in verifying personal information across multiple international sources. At the start of 2024, Validata Group was acquired by DISA Global Solutions, a US leader in drug & alcohol testing and employment screening solutions. Harm now focuses on spearheading international expansion efforts, leveraging DISA's global reach to offer comprehensive screening solutions worldwide.
