Why
     Screen ?

Recent fraud risk surveys show increasing levels of employee dishonesty linked to a rise in reported fraud cases. Typical issues range from cases of false qualifications on a CV or application form, to full blown identity theft, examples of which are widely reported in the media. Increasingly therefore, employers are seeking to implement screening solutions to mitigate the risk of a bad hire and help them secure the right people to enhance and develop their businesses.

Typical issues arising from not checking the veracity of successful job applicants include:

 Failure to meet regulatory requirements & increased chance of corporate liability
 Unqualified or unsuitable employees in positions of responsibility
 Theft, fraud, embezzlement or property damage
 Financial loss
 Time and money wasted in recruiting, employing and training
 Lawsuits by both employees and third parties
 Long term damage to the business reputation
 Loss of business and customers
 Demoralisation of staff

Additionally, organisations that implement a comprehensive screening policy typically report the following benefits:

 A screening policy not only identifies dishonest candidates, but by its nature acts as a deterrent, protecting the company and its employees from people who may have the capacity and desire to cause damage.

 Demonstration of due diligence by carrying out appropriate checks on candidates can satisfy regulatory requirements within some industry sectors.

 Screening ensures that the qualifications required by a firm for a specific role are genuinely held by the candidate, which in turn raises the overall quality of a company's staff.

 Pre-employment screening helps to encourage an open and honest company culture from the outset and provides the individual with a greater level of assurance in the integrity of work colleagues.

Why use
     Vero Screening?

Reduced cost: An efficient, outsourced employee screening service will invariably be more cost effective than a dedicated in house process due to experience, specialization and the use of a bespoke technical infrastructure. Prices are easy to comprehend and transparent as the user simply pays for each check conducted allowing for precision in cost control and annual budgets. Successfully managing the screening process is an administrative burden on most Human Resources departments, using time that could be better invested in other HR matters. Outsourcing is often considerably less expensive than keeping the process in house.

Quicker & more accurate responses: Screening turnaround times are likely to be quicker and the reports of greater quality as dedicated analysts constantly chase, verify and monitor responses, reducing overall recruitment times.

Flexibility: Our proposition is entirely flexible and can be adapted to exactly meet your business requirements. You may need to conduct one off checks, or have a volume recruitment initiative planned. Whatever your requirements, we have the system, people and initiative to implement the most relevant screening programme to fit your needs. Vero can implement different levels of screening for different levels of staff, depending on their responsibility or access to cash or sensitive data. If you already have a screening process in place, we would be happy to benchmark it for you. Alternatively, if you require some guidance, we would be happy to make recommendations based on our broad experience across different industries.

Compliance: Vero is fully compliant with international data protection standards and compatible with industry and government recommendations, for example Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulations within the UK.

Access to multi lingual researchers: Vero use multi lingual researchers who are able to conduct reference interviews internationally in the local language and provide translated reports. Many of our in house team are also multi lingual, which helps us to dramatically improve response times when there is an international element to the screening.

International capabilities: Access to knowledge of international law relevant to data sourcing and data handling, which differs from country to country.

Independence: HR professionals may have concerns in ensuring that the screening process doesn't damage the bond of trust they have with their employees. Outsourcing can mitigate any unease the employee may feel and generally offers a better chance to gain accurate information.
