Why Pre-Screen?

We understand that those you employ are your greatest assets as the drive productivity and profit. This is why making the right decision is crucial and having confidence that you have identified the risks is important. Hiring qualified, honest employees is critical to your success.

Pressure to fill a role can result in managers sacrificing thorough background checks. Personnel Profile Specialists will undertake all of the necessary checks on the hiring managers' behalf, leaving them to focus on the candidate's skill set fit and fit to team and management style that best meets the requirements of the job.

A background check is your opportunity to verify information provided by an applicant. It may reveal information that was either intentionally or mistakenly omitted - such as maiden names or aliases which may have adverse criminal or credit histories. Background checks also help confirm degrees, certification and professional licences earned, as well as providing specific information about prior employment.

Personnel Profile Specialists Ltd provides the most comprehensive range of background checks available in New Zealand. The range of checks we undertake can be tailored to each role or organisation.

Small businesses are particularly vulnerable without a background check. Statistics show that past behaviour is frequently a predictor of future behaviour, so your candidate's history will go a long was in predicting how they might perform for your company.

According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, small businesses are the most susceptible to employee fraud. In a small company, a single employee tends to have a large amount of responsibility and a small level of managerial oversight. They often also have access to sensitive information and or may have roles impacting on banking, finances and cash management.

Considerations

If you haven't been conducting a background check as part of your employment process, here are some considerations:
  • The average cost of recruiting, hiring and training an employee is over $5000. The cost of undertaking an employee background check is only a fraction of that cost.
  • Approximately 11% of our Criminal Record Searches reveal the applicant or employee has a criminal record
  • Our pre-employment screening shows that approximately 30% of all resumes contain some false or misleading information
  • The average loss for a small business is $127,500 while the average loss for a large company is $97,000
  • Employers who are victims of fraud recover less than 25% of their losses in only about half of the cases reported.
