Pre-employment screening services

Pre-employment screening, also known as PES screening, involves the verification of data on a potential employee’s resume that relates to the candidate’s job performance. By doing so, you know who you are recruiting!

Why conduct pre-employment screening?

Research has shown that 71% of all CVs contain falsehoods, which have either been deliberately or unwittingly included. Of this, 8 to 10% are complete lies purposely placed on CVs. If you are looking for new employees, you need to be sure that their CV information is accurate.

At Validata, we believe that people determine the success of the organisation. Honest employees strengthen the organisation and together deliver better results. Therefore it’s important to make the right hiring decision.

What is a pre-employment screening service?

During a pre-employment screening, certain details of an applicant are checked so that possible risks related to the job performance, come to the surface. Think for example of checking a diploma. Screening candidates, however, can be a complex and privacy-sensitive process and places more responsibilities on your HR department. For this reason, an organisation may choose to outsource this process and use a so-called pre-employment screening service, such as the one provided by Validata.

This means that Validata checks whether the candidate’s details are correct, for example by checking a diploma. We work together with trusted partners, including Dienst Uitvoering Onderwijs (DUO), and we use digital integrations to quickly verify the information directly at the source. Conducting pre-employment screening with Validata allows you to focus on the success of your organisation.
