What pre-employment tests do I need?

We offer a wide range of pre-employment tests, but what you require depends on company needs and nature of work.

If you want to book pre-employment screening (PES) for your organisation but don't know what you need, you're not alone.

Below, we list four types of employers that often request our PES services.

Although the term is 'pre-employment screening', employers are able to conduct these tests for their workers at any point of their employment, and not just during the hiring process.
