PRE - EMPLOYMENT VETTING 

The impact of just one dishonest or poorly performing employee on an organisation can be devastating. That's why recruiting the right staff is so important. 

Taking the time to verify that a prospective employee is who they say they are and what they say they are is an essential part of the recruitment process. 

Clearly, the level and type of vetting carried out is dependent on the position being filled. As an entry level service, we have developed a package of three basic checks which we believe every employer should undertake for all staff. The checks are:  

1.    A criminal conviction check

2.    A financial credit check

3.    A personal check of up to three previous employers or personal references    

While we recommend more extensive checks for senior managers, we consider that these checks alone are sufficient for front line employees and lower level supervisors. 

Objectives of Service

Our front line employee vetting service has the following objectives:  

- To verify that the person does not have a relevant criminal record or if they do that it is correctly stated on their employment application form

- To assess the person's financial stability

- To verify the person's stated work history

          * is the record as stated, or has the applicant fabricated their work history to cover up for a dismissal or unsatisfactory performance?

- To verify the person's position and responsibilities in previous jobs

- To assess the person's previous work performance

          * how did they perform?

          * what was their general work attitude and ethic?

- To verify if the employee was viewed as an asset or a liability to the previous employer.
