Our Process at Employ Insight
We’re the first Background Screening Company in South Africa to integrate Pre-Employment screening and Psychometric assessments in a holistic report. Employ Insight compiles a holistic profile of a candidate’s past and current behaviour and performance.
We combine pre-employment screening with psychometric tests to get a 360 view. We provide a holistic report to predict the candidate’s future behaviour, integrity, and performance. Our cutting-edge approach is also a proactive step in mitigating corruption, fraud, and bribery.
Don’t build a business. Build your people, and they will build the business.
Psychometric Assessments and Screening Success Stories
'The Fraudster' Profile
We researched and developed a profile of a fraudster in South Africa in collaboration with Absa, the University of South Africa (UNISA) and the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). We can identify fraudsters with Employ Insight’s in-depth, holistic background screening process.
After the research, we update the fraudster’s profile with international research in other countries. This profile significantly contributes to the fight against fraud and financial crime here and abroad.
Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC) Screening
We were honoured to effectively conduct integrity assessments on the first recruits of the IEC in 1996. Subsequently, we continued to render services to them over the years, and due to an impeccable track record, the IEC remains an Employ Insight client.
Integrity Assessments at 3 of South Africa's largest banks
We collectively conducted integrity assessments at the three biggest South African Banks – Absa, First National Bank and Standard Bank – over 15 years.
