The critical area of vulnerability in commercial asset protection is the human element. While employees are vital to the success of your company, the lack of robust employee recruitment checks and controls in some organisations lies at the heart of their challenges around commercial crime. Even where pre-recruitment screening exists, the increasing use of foreign employees has significantly reduced the ability of many companies to undertake robust and meaningful international vetting enquiries.
Therefore the implementation of robust pre-employment screening of personnel can act as the first line of defense in preventing commercial crime. It will significantly reduce selection error by preventing unsuitable candidates being offered positions of trust and responsibility within your company. It will also ensure that applicants are selected on their genuine experience and qualifications (and even correct identity) and allow you to appoint the right people for your organisation based on the correct information. Ultimately, the utilisation of effective selection and assessment techniques will have a major impact on business performance.
