Employee Screening
EMPLOYEE SCREENING

All companies are vulnerable to internal fraud, theft and industrial espionage - and when one considers that
more than 80 percent of all such incidents are perpetrated by employees, the need for pre-and in-job screening is obvious -
especially in the light of statistics showing that in South Africa, about 16 percent of all job applicants checked have criminal
records, and 17 percent have bad credit records.

Qualification and work experience verification is another critical aspect no hirer can afford to ignore. Statistics show that on
average, 25 percent of all job applicants in South Africa contain claims to qualifications which are fraudulent.

Screening does not stop with an employment application: continuous in-job screening will reveal changes in lifestyle, affluence
or the acquisition of criminal records post employment - all of these are as critical as pre-employment screening to the welfare of the company.

There is a vast array of techniques available to ensure that companies minimise the risk which they might face from personnel. These include:

  • Conduct Your Screening HereConfirming curriculum vitae;
  • A criminal record check;
  • A credit check;
  • The verification of ID numbers;
  • Qualification verification;
  • Driver's licence checking;
  • Company registrar checking (to see if employees have any interests in potentially conflicting companies);
  • Deeds office searches and a vehicle asset identification (both valuable in comparing lifestyle with income);
  • Psychometric profiling and truth verification tests using graphology voice stress analysis;
  • Polygraph tests to show the individual's character, personality, psychological and physiological status.

Employee screening will reduce hiring costs, staff turnover rates, while simultaneously increasing asset protection, create a safer working environment and develop a culture of ethics and integrity throughout the enterprise.
