Employee Screening
Asset or Risk
Employees are the principal asset of an organisation, but only the right people are an investment. The wrong people can expose the business to untenable risks.
Practice
Companies spend considerable time, effort and revenue in recruiting staff with requisite skills, academic qualifications and experience. Further investment is then necessary for induction and training.
But what is done to ensure that the purported background and achievements of the candidate stand up to scrutiny?
Statistics show that one in four candidates conceal, omit or misrepresent information in order to secure employment.
This supports the fact that the majority of dishonest and fraudulent acts committed against companies involve their own employees.
Add Value
OVAG assists organisations by designing and implementing screening programmes tailored to their particular requirements.
Our effective and proven methodology deters unsuitable candidates, and identifies any spurious, misleading or fictitious claims they may make. It can also identify candidates who have:
• Overstated or falsified their academic achievements or professional qualifications
• Deliberately, or by omission, tried to hide something derogatory in their background
• A history of violence or other unacceptable behaviour
• An unexplained or disguised gap in their employment history
• An adverse financial history
We offer various levels of risk-based screening depending upon the sensitivity or seniority of the position. |
