Veris's employee screening services provide a robust and efficient solution to safeguard against potential risks associated with hiring.
Implementing a comprehensive employee screening process not only helps minimize the risks associated with hiring, such as employee misconduct, fraud, or negligence, but also protects the company's reputation and ensures a safe and productive work environment.
By conducting thorough background checks and verifications, employers can gain valuable insights into candidates' employment history, educational qualifications, and criminal records. This information allows them to make informed hiring decisions and mitigate potential risks.
Veris's employee screening services offer a range of solutions, including identity verification, reference checks, as well as education and background checks. These services are essential for businesses across various industries.
For example, in one of their previous employee screening projects, Veris was appointed to screen a senior management candidate for a publicly listed company. After conducting various comprehensive checks, the findings showed that the candidate attended a short course on international law at a prestigious US institution but never achieved the Master's in International Law he claimed. As a result, the client ceased negotiations with the candidate for the position of Senior Legal Counsel.
In a similar vein, during a routine pre-employment screening for a multinational bank, media research on a candidate for a treasury position at the bank revealed the candidate's father to be on a police watchlist for his involvement in a corruption case. The candidate had failed to volunteer this fact to recruiters.
While conducting risk-based screening for integrity-sensitive roles at a Fortune 500 company, one of Veris's credential checks revealed that a newly appointed board member had acquired his graduate qualification from a degree mill. Pre-employment screening was not conducted on the candidate as he had previously held a senior position at another Fortune 500 company.
During a project-based initiative to verify the most recent qualifications held by existing employees of a multinational technology company, Veris discovered red flag issues in more than 20% of employees screened. The issues found included fake degrees and degrees obtained from unaccredited academic institutions.
As you can see, the evidence for the effectiveness of Veris's employee screening services is clear. Not only do these checks reveal inconsistencies and misleading information in CVs, but they also unearth potential risks and breaches of integrity that could have profound effects on a company's operations and reputation.
In a business landscape where trust, credibility, and transparency are critically important, companies cannot afford to overlook the accuracy and veracity of the information provided by potential new hires or existing employees. Whether it's fraudulent claims of qualifications, misconduct, or potential conflicts of interest, these issues, if left undetected, can lead to serious consequences.
Veris's employee screening services provide a robust and efficient solution to safeguard against potential risks associated with hiring. From entry-level employees to C-suite executives, Veris offers employers the security and peace of mind of knowing that they are recruiting individuals who are genuinely qualified, honest, and possess an unwavering adherence to the company's values and ethics.
