RECRUITMENT
•Supply & Demand of Labour Market•Economic Conditions•Competitor practices•Technology
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
•Most information obtained via contacts & changes occur regularly•Electronic information not readily available & personal visits to regions/towns required
Employee Screening assists in identifying candidates or
employees who are susceptible to criminal and / or fraudulent
behaviour
EMPLOYEE SCREENING TECHNIQUES•Verification of ID & Passport•Verification of Educational Qualifications•Criminal Record Checks•Credit Checks•Driver’s License Verification
• Research shows big corporates incorporate comprehensive screening processes more than SME’s. Should it not be the other way around?
• Cannot only rely on HR departments or recruitment agencies
• Those who do not conduct screening have between 50 -70% fraudulent applications
• High staff turnover leaves companies exposed and vulnerable to fraudulent behaviour
• SME’s can’t afford not to follow the big dogs.
• Identity Documents• CV• References• University / High School
Qualifications• Driver’s License • Work Permits
• Due to downsizing, unemployment & increased competition, the job market has become increasingly competitive
• Such economic pressures lead candidates to falsify & embellish CV’s
• Screening practices such as due diligence & personal verifications will reveal discrepancies
• Access to social media & the utilisation of social media for screening practices will also uncover lies & over-promotion
INDIA
• In the recent report India is now ranked 2nd among nations with high prevalence of fraud.
• Absence of strong anti-corruption laws & enforcement in BRIC nations
• Common frauds in India: Corruption & Bribery (31%)Information Theft, loss / attack (27%)
• Other Frauds reported:Internal Financial FraudTheft of Physical Assets / StockFinancial Mismanagement
• Less than ½ respondents in India invested in employee screening
• Proper accountability & effective sanctions are required, as well as, a combination of education & legislation
