How pre-employment screening may avoid incidents
i-Force* carried out a pre-employment screening (PES) during the recruitment of an operator for a food company. In the online questionnaire, the candidate had indicated to have no history of employment conflicts. The analysis of his resume revealed that his employment history consisted of short-term contracts alternated with a number of periods during which his occupations were unclear.
Moreover, a telephone call with a former employer exposed that the candidate had left the organization after an employment conflict, which had also involved a court case. Apparently, the candidate had leaked confidential information.
The contradictions in the online questionnaire, the interview with the former employer, the many short-term employment contracts and the number of unexplainable periods in his employment history have led our client not to accept this candidate.
*Food Security has an extensive network of privileged experts in various fields, amongst others i-Force concerning PES and fraud investigation.
