All of Orna International’s background and due diligence checks are carried out by, or under the close supervision of, our Australian office. If it is necessary to sub-contract any part of the process, we only use agents known to us for several years and who are completely trustworthy. We monitor any sub-contracted work very carefully.

Orna International’s Australian staff are all specially selected and trained for this work. We screen our own employees very closely and impose a strict Code of Conduct on them. Every case has a Case Manager assigned to it and, they may be contacted at any time during our extended business hours.

In many cases, educational establishments or other information providers, charge a fee for their services. Orna International never value adds on secondary providers’ fees. What we pay, is what you pay.

Criminal Record:

Previous Employments:

Orna International has a database compiled over many years, of common employers in Japan. Our contacts and multi-lingual staff enable Orna International to provide you with prompt reference checks. We train our staff to take an investigative approach to reference checking and do not just tick boxes. Orna looks for the information behind a reference check. We have frequently discovered facts important to a prospective employer, which other providers would not think to ask for.

Education/Qualifications:

Orna International has built up a large database of contacts with educational establishments and can obtain accurate, reliable confirmation of qualifications and attendance as far back as High School if required.

Previous and Current Address:

Japanese citizens have their addresses recorded by the Japanese Government and also by utilities providers. Non-Japanese are not usually recorded as residing at an address in Japan. In certain instances, for instance non-Japanese teachers, registered persons in the financial services industry, have their addresses recorded by their supervisory body. Orna International has access to these records.

Disciplinary Record:

Japanese regulatory authorities regard personal licences, disciplinary records etc. as confidential. Orna International will contact previous employers to determine a persons regulatory history. For non-regulated applicants we will speak to line managers and former colleagues, so you know the character of the person you are hiring, not just their qualifications.
