Employment Screening
Ensuring the integrity of your workforce
A growing number of blue chip companies use WM Investigation Services to check the credentials of prospective employees, discovering that the money saved weeding out unreliable applicants is well worth the investment, and the same principle applies to employers of all sizes. Falsifying the information on a CV is alarmingly commonplace and varies from lying about qualifications, to fabricating past jobs, sometimes even going as far as concealing time spent in prison. None of which may rule out a potential employee in your eyes – that is for you to decide. What we will do is provide you with all the evidence you need to make a sound judgement on the applicant in question. Our trained Employment Screening team will spot the anomalies in an applicant’s CV and this expertise is backed up with a questionnaire, carefully tailored to the job being applied for. Our questionnaire alone is often enough to ward off false applications, while genuine candidates don’t even realise they are being screened.

Where inconsistencies do occur, we can investigate further to ascertain the extent of the misinformation. The results of the questionnaire are submitted together with our analysis of the CV and any further investigation to give a thorough profile of all job applicants, from entry level up to senior management.
