PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENNING

WHY WE NEED PRE EMPLOYMENT

• Akhbar & Associates can make you confident that an individual is suitable for employment and reduce the risk of criminal or other disruptive behaviour which effects the work place and profitability.  To check pre employment screening in Malaysia you need to have a  valid license from Ministry of Internal security. Therefore, get a copy of the license before you engage any  PI  company. Avoid future disputes or legal implications
• The statistics on the consequences of even one bad hire are chilling. The financial cost to businesses from theft, violence, and false credentials can be enormous. There are other costs that are hard to measure, such as the harm to employee morale or the firm's reputation. Industry statistics suggest the cost of even one bad hiring decision can exceed RM350,000, taking into account the time spent recruiting, hiring, and training and the amount of time the job is left undone or done badly by an unqualified applicant.
• Given the enormous price tag of a bad hiring decision, it is no surprise that employers of all sizes are turning to various tools to boost the effectiveness of their hiring process. The tools run from honesty and skills testing to behavior-based and group interview techniques

Regardless of the size of your business, pre-employment screening is a necessary hiring practice to save time,money,avoid lawsuits and costly hiring mistakes. Gone are the days of a simple reference check and a few phone calls to screen new employees by unprofessional companies. Amid security concerns, corporate scandals, and workplace violence, pre-employment screening has been gaining ground.  Pre-employment background screening works in these critical ways:

• Discourage applicants with something to hide. A person with a criminal record or false resume will simply apply to a company that does not pre-screen.
• A screening program demonstrates that an employer has exercised due diligence, providing a great deal of legal protection in the event of a lawsuit.
• Avoid conflicts of interest, corruption or  theft of sensitive information
• Provide a safe working environment for your employees and your customers
• Reduce workplace violence and accidents, which will reduce your number of worker’s compensation claims
• Enhance your company’s image and quality of life, hence attracting a higher caliber of applicant
• Eliminate anti social behaviour
• Discourage applicants with criminal records from applying to your company.
• Decrease employee turnover and hiring/training costs.
• Poor Hiring Decision may result in financial losses

The result and background report will serve to guide your company to have a comprehensive profile of the individual .
