PRE EMPLOYMENT SCREENING & BACKGROUND CHECK SERVICESPre-employement screening, educational qualification verification and background checks are important business risk-management strategies. Commercial Investigations licensed private investigators provide a nationwide pre-employment checking service.
Price Waterhouse Coopers recently conducted an analysis of data
relating to the screening of potential employees on behalf of
a major Australasian corporation. The analysis revealed the
following:
16% of candidates screened had a major discrepancy with respect
to their previous employment. Examples included one candidate
who had been dismissed for having pornography on his work
computer and one who had been dismissed for inappropriate
behaviour.
25% of candidates screened had a minor discrepancy with respect
to their previous employment. Examples included differences
in work titles & positions as well as dates on which they
commence or ceased employment with their previous employer.
35% of candidates screened had some form of discrepancy in
relation to their Educational qualifications.
Around one quarter of curriculum vitae reviewed contain serious
falsifications. Despite this, few organisations have adequate
risk management procedures in place to provide checks and
balances for the security process.
Our service is a valuable tool in minimising the risk of
an organisation hiring an under qualified or fraudulent employee.
As part of our service we:
1. review a candidates c.v. for
discrepancies.
2. verify academic / professional qualifications.
3. verify previous employment experience.
4. searches on bankruptcy, directorship, credit history &
other databases.
5. Complete criminal & history searches.
Our services help provide assurance that the person you choose
to fill a vacancy is “the” person for the job
