When hiring, all you have to go on is the word of the candidate and their CV
And while most candidates are honest about their employment history, educational qualifications, and
criminal record, there are many who are not.
Background checks are not just another step of the recruitment process – they are one of the most important.
No delays because time matters
The Job Crystal™ Background Check system is available online, 24/7 with fast results. We know how urgent a background check can be, and how a fast result could mean a new job for someone who needs it or loosing the opportunity.
Quality not quantity is our ethos, because accuracy matters
Our guarantee is to send you quality background checks, from our own database or from qualified suppliers. Our checks are used nationwide by a range of SME’s, recruiters, even the medical, education and security industry, because accuracy matters.
A bad hire can cost as much as R250,000
A PWC survey conducted in 2019 showed that hiring the wrong person can cost up to in the region of R250,000. Coupled with a loss of your organisation’s time training the wrong person, wasting your time
in interviewing, and subsequently paying a salary, leave and potentially IR Consultants. Make sure you get fast, accurate background checks. Our reputation speaks for itself.
