What is Pre-Employment Screening?

Pre-Employment Screening is a variety of checks that employers require to be carried out either before they offer a candidate a job or during the hiring process.

The results of this screening give the employer a valuable insight into the candidate’s performance and behaviour. Solid, consistent and appropriate background checks help to ensure that a potential hire is a good fit for the company, has gained the experience and earned the qualifications that they have stated on their CV.

In the majority of cases, it validates the companies hire decision.  However, in some cases the results can alert them to possible risks and can prevent them from making a costly hiring mistake.

This will vary depending on the nature of the employer’s business and the level of position in which the candidate is being hired.
