Pre-Employment Screening |
Warfield & Associates

Competition for a good job can cause potential employees to create the impression that they have achieved more in their career than they really have. This can include lying about academic qualifications and work experience. It can also mean not disclosing important personal information such as criminal convictions. Some applicants want to improve their chances of being hired. Others applicants can be habitual fraudsters who, once they are employed, are likely to commit fraud against your organisation almost immediately. This could include not only cash and other liquid assets, but even more valuable - intellectual property. Protecting the integrity of an organisation starts with ensuring that staff have the right ethical background. Pre-Employment Screening is a valuable risk management tool that should be used to reduce the risk of recruiting staff that don’t meet your expectations. Thorough Pre-Employment Screening is one of the best deterrents to unethical behaviour occurring in your organisation. The objective of the screening process is to reduce the risk of a potential security breach and to obtain a higher level of assurance as to the integrity, identity and credentials of personnel employed by your organisation. Organisations must bear in mind that employment screening should be conducted within the confines of relevant legislation and with the informed and express consent of the applicant. Employment screening is contemplated for all new employees joining the organisation (including contractors) and all personnel being transferred to a senior executive position or to a position considered by the organisation to be ‘higher-risk’ in terms of the potential exposure to fraud or corruption associated with those positions. We can advise your staff on a screening process that introduces an objective, fact-based element into the selection process that may include a range of checks such as criminal history, academic qualification verification, directorships and shareholdings, disqualified directorships, public profile analysis, bankruptcy and verification of personal details provided during the recruitment process. Warfield & Associates can help your organisation establish a systemic and thorough process of pre-employment screening. |
