Avoiding hiring mistakes is good business!

It's a startling fact - Employee theft and fraud averages R9.00 per day per employee!  That's about R2,000 per employee subtracted from your bottom line every year.  And while all employees have opportunities to steal, an employer's risk increases as people advance to upper levels of responsibility.  High ranking executives have been known to embezzle tens of thousands - even millions of rands.  Could there be a better reason for striving to hire people of your trust?

Pre-employment screening, for private businesses, corporations, security companies, law enforcement and others, is used before hiring to confirm information on the application and honesty of the person, so the best applicant can be determined. Post-employment testing is performed several months after the applicant has been hired to determine if the applicant is still an honest and reliable worker, including if they committed any thefts or other activities that are not allowed by the employer.

Candidates today are extremely sophisticated and have professional support from coaches and recruitment agencies with one goal in mind - to groom them to land their dream job. You may find when you first meet a candidate or read their resume that they seem ideally suited for your role. However, you find that after several months of working with this new employee, their natural style becomes evident, their interview mask fades!
