What is pre-employment screening and which key checks employers must make?

Pre-employment screening often called as ''employee vetting'' is the process of verifying the credentials of a job applicant. It also ensures that they meet preconditions of employment. When conducting pre-employment checks, it should be established whether the applicant has concealed information or otherwise masked themselves. Pre-employment screening may also be considered as a test of one's character.

Every organisation has different systems and procedures in place for conducting pre-employment screening. However, the aim of pre-employment screening is to obtain information about prospective or existing staff, and to make sure that information is properly analysed to identify people who may present security concerns.

When teams are working remotely - organisations are more vulnerable to fraud and different roles present different types/levels of risks, business should always consider how these risks can be mitigated and what level of pre employment screening their prospective/current employee needs.
