I would suggest that you go for referral check or certificate of morality.

This is pretty much a valid question and may have to be seen from the perspective of trust. Checks can be incorporated in every point of the hiring process (This being a HR business process).

Secondly, ISMS being a continuous monitoring system, having checks only during the hiring phase may not be a sufficient measure in itself.Steps can be taken to enhance the assurance levels in this HR control by having checks even during the period of relationship with the company (relationship in this context being employment)

I would suggest a police clearance certificate or criminal check in addition to the normal background check which involves employment check, education qualification check etc as a precautionary checks while on boarding a resource.
