Employment screening also gives you valuable peace of mind, and that's something that you really can't put a price on.

Employment Screening

What's employment screening?

Employment screening (and indeed pre employment screening) is basically just another name for a background checking service, but it's used to describe all the background checks that are carried out prior to employing someone but can also be used to describe the checks carried out on current employees.

Where can I go to get an employee background check/pre employment screening service?

If you're looking for an employee background check service that offers everything you need, including a criminal records check, reference check and complete pre employment screening, make sure to consider NorthgateArinso's dedicated PeopleChecking service.

Back Ground Checks!

Employing new staff is a costly business these days, and if those people turn out to be not who they say they are it can be an incredibly expensive mistake. With hiring an individual costing up to £10,000, it's important to make sure that you've made the right decision, which is why completing background checks, including criminal records checks, on each and every potential employee can be a very wise move.

Why will I need background checks?

Quite simply, background checks will be needed to make sure that the candidate is who they say they are and that they haven't lied on their CV. This is an essential point to consider, as with a lot of people liking to embellish their CVs somewhat, it's always advisable to make sure that their qualifications and experience can be trusted and verified.

Then consider the possibility that the candidate isn't even eligible to work in the UK or has undisclosed convictions. That's where a criminal records check comes into its own, as you need to make sure that you can trust your employee 100%, especially if they're to work with material (or people) of a sensitive or vulnerable nature.

Running an employee background check will help to give you peace of mind that you've made the right decision. It's a lot more cost-effective than hiring someone only to find out they're not who you thought they were, so avoid the hassle by letting professionals run thorough employee background checks and criminal records checks for you.

71% of staff lies on theri CV!

Do you know who’s working for you?

71% of employers have encountered lies on CVs.

Despite this, 33% of employers admit they "don't have time to carry out checks". The average cost of hiring an individual is £5-10,000 (CIPD 2006) but If a proportion of those recruited are not suitable, this will result in a huge waste of time and money.

In 2007, 50% of UK employers lost money by withdrawing job offers or dismissing someone for misrepresenting themselves (CIPD 2008)

With NorthgateArinso's PeopleChecking service you can have peace of mind by ensuring that you know who is working for you by confirming that recruits (and existing employees) are who they say they are, have the experience and qualifications they claim to have and are eligible to work in this country.

PeopleChecking is a unique complete web-based solution that allows you to run checks on any employee at any time providing instant reassurance. Our experience of having helped check over 2 million individuals from 86 countries helps us to provide a particularly timely and thorough service to our customers.

ID checks and crim checks in SA

ID checks and crim checks in SA
by Marieta Krüger

I think the best way to start this blog is to give my readers some background information.

My name is Marieta Krüger and I am the owner of my own business, Afisclear.

I was an active member in the SAPS for 17 years before I decided to move on, start my own thing and spend more time with my family. However when I was still in the SAPS I worked on several SAPS systems including "crim check" system.

The biggest problem with this system however, are you feed an ID nr into the system and get a return. Now you will most probable ask me, now what is wrong with that.
The problem with this is the fact that you can not determine if the ID number given to you belongs to the person presenting it.

Let me try explain it in another way. Any person searching a database can only search the item against what is loaded on that database if that makes better sense.

To overcome this hurdle SAPS has decided that in future the only way the database can be access will be by finger print identification which is much more accurate.

Every person and company can say we did a crim check on a person before we employed him. As I said who say that that specific ID number belongs to that person.

SAPS came up with a brilliant concept. Block all ID checks and crim checks or access to it off their systems and outsource the function to private entity.

If you need to see proof letters, government gazettes I will gladly supply you with the relevant info.

I am an authorized supplier of the new system. The best of all, the new system is portable, the test is done at your premises, delivers the results to your office in 48 hours and eradicates the unnecessary paper work and awful ink. This service is fast and efficient.

The new way will be the only way soon. This is the way to go and I don't just say it because I want your business. You can also order your own system from me. I will supply all the training. (Conditions apply)

Protect your business - South Africa

In today's world it is with sadness to face the fact that more and more business get targeted by crime syndicates. It is expected from companies to protect their own as more and more pressure is placed on law enforcement agencies with the out flux of experience and skilled staff to private sector is in the order of the day.

I am of the opinion that law enforcement has several successful initiatives in place but they just don't get every where.

It will become the norm in South Africa that business will have to do more and more in the fight against crime and protecting the bottom line of their businesses.

With this in mind more and more non core function will be outsourced to private sector.

Surely the private sector will grab these opportunities as the law enforcement agencies will get their focus back.

With opportunities like these I have grabbed mine and became an authorized supplier of the AFIS system which will be a totally outsourced function soon.
