Why should you care about backgroundscreening and verification?
Statistics indicate a dramatic increase in workplace crimes. Since 2009 the number of reported employee fraud incidents have nearly doubled every year. However many businesses still hesitate to report these incidents for fear of reputational damage. According to the South Africa Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS) false employee information and qualifications are a factor many of these incidents have in common.
The good news is that there's an efficient way to combat workplace theft, fraud, and other crimes. Instead of a deterrent, it acts as a preventative measure by giving employers the information they need to make sound hiring decisions.
Safeploy provides you with all the background-screening functionality you need in a single convenient interface. With more than 40 checks and verifications possible, Safeploy is the all-in-one background information tool that helps you actively reduce the potential of workplace crimes.
Background screening and verification: Current status
Tools which facilitate background checks have been available for years, as have companies which provide these checks for a fee - modest or otherwise. Yet varying turnaround times and different formats in which results are presented have made it difficult for HR personnel to manage background information and make timely decisions.
Safeploy solves these problems by providing a central verification system from which background screenings and verifications can be done. A uniform results format and short turnaround time on all checks make it easy to collate applicant and employee background information for timely, informed decisions.
