As European businesses grow more international, the need to hire talent from across the globe — including Thailand — is increasing. Whether you’re hiring a Thai national for a role in hospitality, domestic care, logistics, or a personal assistant position, trust is everything. But how can you truly know the person you’re bringing into your workplace — or even your home?
At Orchid Eyes we assist clients across the world in verifying the background of Thai candidates before employment contracts are signed. This is especially valuable when traditional background checks are limited or unfeasible.
What Can Be Verified?
Employment history: Has the candidate been honest about their previous work? Were they reliable and professional?
Character and reputation: What do former colleagues, neighbours, or local contacts say about them?
Legal issues: Are there any visible red flags, civil disputes, or prior police involvement?
Lifestyle inconsistencies: Are there signs of problematic behaviour such as gambling, excessive debt, or undisclosed activities?
Why Use a Local Investigation Agency?
Traditional background checks only go so far — especially across borders. We operate discreetly in Thailand, primarily in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand, but also extend operations nationwide when required. Our advantage: we know the local systems, customs, and how to gather insight through ethical, non-intrusive methods.
Real-World Peace of Mind
Employers who hire staff for sensitive roles — including live-in staff or positions involving access to finances or children — need more than a CV and a passport scan. Our investigations provide added peace of mind and help avoid costly or dangerous mistakes.
Hiring someone you barely know is always a risk. Let us help you minimise it — discreetly, efficiently, and ethically.
