How does pre-employment screening help me reduce business costs?

Pre-employment screening minimises risk and optimises hiring decisions to reduce long-term business costs.

In many industries, work injuries are almost entirely inevitable. In such cases we assist with mitigating the risk of such accidents taking place by offering pre-employment solutions that optimise your hiring decisions.

Pre-employment screening is a process used by employers to evaluate potential employees before making a hiring decision. The goal is to assess a candidate's qualifications, reliability and suitability for the position while ensuring a safe and compliant workplace.

Incorporating pre-employment screening into your selection process makes it more rigorous and helps eliminate incompatible candidates from your consideration. This means you are able to hire the most qualified candidates for your company.

Pre-employment screening is also used during a worker's employment period to ensure compliance, prevent occurrence of workplace injury and reduce employer liability.
