Candidate Screening

According to the CIFAS 63% of reported employment fraud has involved the falsifying of qualifications, educational background or former employment history. Hiring the wrong person is in itself an expensive mistake, however hiring the wrong person and failing to carry out the right background checks could be a disaster.

Robust screening requires specialist knowledge so as to stay compliance and within the strict legal regulations. We are able to provide a wide range of screening services based on your requirements ranging from educational, adverse media, criminal record, driving licence and employment history checks.
