In Burundi, background checks are accessible and are a recommended measure, especially when it comes to verifying past employment. Typically, these checks include an evaluation of an individual's criminal and civil records. Furthermore, educational qualifications are assessed to validate a candidate's academic achievements. Lastly, professional references are often sought to provide a deeper understanding of a candidate's work ethic, behavior, and experience from a third-party perspective.
