Do you need the candidate's consent?

Yes. Pre-employment checks are carried out with the candidate's informed consent, in line with the Privacy Act 2020. It's a normal, expected part of a professional hiring process.

Identity and right to work, employment history, qualifications, professional references, and court records or adverse media where lawful and relevant to the role.

How long does it take?

Most checks are completed within a few business days, depending on the scope and how quickly referees and institutions respond.

Thorough, Privacy Act 2020 compliant pre-employment checks that confirm a candidate is exactly who they say they are — verified identity, work history and references, before you sign.

Before you sign

Know exactly who
you're hiring.

A CV is a claim, not a fact. People round up dates, inflate titles, borrow qualifications they never finished, and occasionally aren't who they say they are at all. The cost of finding out after they're on the payroll is far higher than checking first.

We confirm the foundations — identity and right to work, real employment history, genuine qualifications and references — lawfully and with the candidate's consent, so the person you hire is the person you were promised.

✓ Identity and right to work confirmed
✓ History, qualifications and references verified
✓ Consent-based and Privacy Act 2020 compliant

What you get

What you walk away with.

Confidence a candidate is who they claim

Verified identity and right to work — the foundation every other check is built on.

A true picture of work history

Confirmed roles, dates, qualifications and professional references — not just what’s on the CV.

Red flags surfaced before they cost you

Adverse media, undisclosed issues and integrity concerns brought to light early, where lawful and relevant.

A documented, compliant hiring record

A consistent, Privacy Act 2020 compliant screening file you can stand behind if a hire is ever questioned.

For employers, HR & recruiters

Why employers screen before they sign.

A bad hire is expensive, disruptive and sometimes dangerous — and the warning signs are usually checkable before day one. Employers, HR teams and recruiters bring us in to confirm the things a reference call alone won't.

Protects your team and culture

The wrong person in a position of trust can do real damage. Screening keeps your people, your clients and your culture safe from a hire who isn’t what they appeared to be.

Defensible if it’s ever questioned

A consistent, consent-based, Privacy Act 2020 compliant screening file you can point to if a hiring decision is ever challenged — for roles where that matters most.

Confidence before you sign

Verified identity, history and references before the offer goes out — so you make the call with facts, not a good feeling and crossed fingers.

Cheaper than a bad hire

Recruitment, onboarding and the cost of unwinding a wrong hire dwarf the price of checking first. Screening is the cheapest insurance in the whole process.
