Employment background checks
December 17, 2025
In this episode, Andreas Hallbeck, Linnéa Ceréus and Säde Märgel discuss background checks – what are background checks and what do employers need to consider before conducting such checks.
They outline what applies under both employment law and the GDPR, highlighting in particular the specific rules governing the processing of criminal data. Based on the Supreme Court’s two rulings from earlier this year regarding legal databases, they also analyze how these rulings affect employers’ ability to conduct background checks.
