PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING (PES)
Investing in the right candidates is the foundation of success for any organizations
Why PES?
Recruitment remains an essential component of business operations. In today's corporate environment, making hiring decisions solely based on recommendations or appearances poses significant risks. Prudent employers implement a Professional Employment Screening (PES) process when hiring new personnel, as a single poor decision can lead to financial setbacks or more severe consequences.
Verifying an applicant's credentials is essential to mitigating potential issues, such as fraud. The advantages of conducting PES include the following:
- It prevents resume or CV fraud by confirming the applicant's prior qualifications and employment history.
- It contributes to reducing employee turnover.
- Implementing thorough screening procedures during the hiring process can help prevent legal actions stemming from an employee's conduct.
