Third-party/Supplier Screening
When dealing with suppliers or third parties, institutions face a dual risk:
Delivery Risk:
A supplier’s potential inability to meet requirements can adversely impact the institution’s service delivery.
Collusion Risk:
There is a growing trend of collusion between institutional employees and suppliers. To mitigate this risk, institutions should employ robust risk management practices.
Assessing employees and any third parties or suppliers before adding them to the supplier database or entering into contracts or service-level agreements is crucial.

Polygraph & Forensic
Investigations
“Truth is the Cornerstone of Trust”
Polygraph examinations detect lies and determine truthfulness, the cornerstone of trust.
EmployInsight facilitates polygraph examinations in collaboration with recognised polygraph institutions. All studies adhere to the Constitution of South Africa and meet the Regulations, Standards of Practice and Code of Conduct of the Polygraph Examiners Association International (PEAI), American Polygraph Association and the Southern African Polygraph Federation.
What is a Polygraph Examination?
Also known as a “Lie Detector Test”, a polygraph examination measures numerous psychological indicators of the person examined, such as blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. The test measures the person’s response to a set of questions, detecting whether the person is lying or being truthful, using several questioning techniques.
What are polygraph tests used for?
- Periodic screening of employees,
- Pre-employment screening,
- Specific issue examinations,
- Disciplinary examinations, or
- Infidelity examinations.
What value do Polygraph Examinations Bring?
What is the value of a polygraph examination as part of the background screening?
- It augments the results of any integrity test,
- It’s a valuable direction for background screening interviews,
- It provides feedback from the polygrapher regarding the candidate’s behaviour and admissions, and
- It’s an additional tool for collecting information.
Ensure you hire the right candidate the first time, every time.

Is Compliance/Supplier Screening relevant?
Dealing with suppliers or third parties has a two-tiered risk for institutions. On the one hand, the inability of a supplier to deliver what is required can have a negative impact on the institution’s service delivery. On the other hand, there is an ever-increasing trend of collusion between institutions’ own employees and suppliers.
For this reason, it is imperative for institutions to assess their own employees, as well as any third parties or suppliers, before adding them to the supplier database or signing service-level agreements with them.
For many years, EmployInsight has been trusted with assisting institutions to conduct comprehensive background screening of their suppliers and third parties, with the aim to minimise the risk of collusion and fraud in the supply chain process.
