Background Investigation
An Employee of high-caliber and a strong work ethic can be a valuable asset to support the achievement of organizational objectives. However, a wrong choice can be detrimental to your organization, especially at the Management level.
A strong CV, a confident candidate, or a great presentation does not necessarily indicate a great new hire and are, sometimes, insufficient to wisely choose a professional to join your organization.
At North Star Management Consultancy, we conduct thorough Reference Checking and Background Investigations on candidates that you are considering for employment at your organization. This could save your organization large amounts of money in the long run.
Just think how devastating the following scenarios could be to your organization:
- You hired an Operations Manager who was directly responsible for a high turnover of employees at his department. Now he joined your company and you already started to receive multiple resignations from your valued employees. Even if you removed him; it would be too late as your employees’ trust has been lost. Think how much your organization will end up spending on hiring, and training replacements for the lost valuable, high-caliber.
- You hired a new CFO to lead your Finance Department and six months later you came to know that he was dismissed from his previous organization due to funds embezzlement and documents falsification. Just think about what he could have done during the last six months inside your organization, not to mention the compromised reputation of your organization in the market, especially with the Banking Sector; a damage that cannot be easily remedied.
- You hired a Waiter who physically assaulted a guest at his previous restaurant and the same guest visited your restaurant and saw that Waiter now working for you. Just think what that guest will be telling to friends, family, workmates, and on social media to the whole world about your restaurant and your standards in selecting staff. Not to mention that they will never be your guests in the future.
- You hired a Project Engineer who caused her previous company to exceed the deadline of project delivery for a major government project, and caused that employer to pay heavy fines as well as wreaking havoc on the reputation of that Engineering Company. Now that very same Engineer is your employee. Just imagine the possibility of landing major contracts or even the collaboration with other contractors in the future.
As you can see, Background Investigation can help your organization to avoid negative publicity, lower employee morale, lost business opportunities, business plans failure, or even just the possibility of paying a salary for someone who is not fit to do the job just because the CV and the interview were impressive. At the end of the day, Actions speak louder than Words.
