Pre-Employment Screening

Hiring a new employee is an investment in your organisation. But how do you know for certain that the candidate is who they claim to be? Forged qualifications, concealed employment history, or false references — it happens more often than you might think. A pre-employment screening by SAJ Recherche gives you certainty before you sign an employment contract. We verify your candidate's background thoroughly, objectively, and in full compliance with GDPR.

What we investigate

What do we check?

Our screening is modular and tailored to the role and risk profile. We verify identity documents, confirm qualifications with the educational institution, check employment history and positions held, conduct structured reference checks, and investigate secondary activities or conflicts of interest. All findings are documented in a clear report that supports your hiring decision.

When is this recommended?

A screening is valuable for positions with access to financial resources or confidential data, management roles, sectors with statutory screening requirements, hiring of freelancers or interim professionals, and candidates with notable gaps in their CV. Prevention is significantly cheaper than remediation — a screening costs a fraction of the damage caused by a bad hire.

How does the screening work?

Consent

The candidate provides written consent in accordance with GDPR.

Execution

We verify all information at the source: qualifications, employment history, and references.
