Risk Based
First of all we will help you to make a risk analysis if you haven’t done one yet.
We need to evaluate which position represent which type of risk to adapt the control level you need to apply when hiring candidates. This is based on a high level risk assessment. We can do this for all positions, or help you doing your assessment by your own.
A pre-employment screening cannot prevent irregularities, fraud or other criminal behavior. It only helps you to mitigate the risk and be more careful on who you hire.
Getting permission
The candidate will be informed about the checks, and will give his permission for this.
Collecting information
One needs to collect only information relevant to the nature and requirements of the job. When the applicant agreed with the check principle and details, we will collect all relevant and needed information via a questionnaire. All information’s will be handled with the highest confidentiality standards.
Analyse
Depending on the integrity-sensitiveness of the job, we will analyse and control the information received from the candidate. Further information gathering can be done by our experts. Using OSINT techniques (Open Sources INTelligence) to collect publicly available information our specialist can complete the analysis and the portrait of the candidate. We will only contact people mentioned by the applicant, when he/she gave the permission.
Reporting
When the analyse is complete, we establish a complete report, solely based on fact and evidence, based on the search criteria. The report will come as a Risk assessment report, showing the fact founds during the screening, with the evidences.
Data Rentention
After the screening, we will securely erase all collected data.
