Criminal Background Verification Checks

DON'T BE SORRY BE SURE

Nearly 20% of all job seekers represent a degree of risk and small businesses are particularly vulnerable. If you’re responsible for employing people in your business or home, make sure you do the due diligence before making a decision you may end up regretting.

TESTIMONIALS

I manage an advertising and design agency in Johannesburg. After employing a senior manager, I soon realised that the quality of her work wasn’t commensurate with an MBA graduate. After doing a background check, I discovered that she was a complete and utter fraud; even her identity was a fake. As a small business owner, I can’t afford such costly mistakes. Background screening is now an imperative in my hiring process.

Cassie S.
My son's school hired a seemingly presentable and well-qualified sports coach. But, they didn't do a background check, which would have confirmed his criminal record for abusive behaviour. Now, it's too late for a young girl, whose life will never be the same again.

Amanda K.
Like thousands of well-meaning South Africans, I employed a cleaner who was advertised on a noticeboard in my community. She worked for me for nearly a year, before I was attacked and robbed in my home. A background check would have revealed a criminal record. I'll never go in blind again.
