Recruitment and Background Checks
The right person in the right role
Good recruitment is not only about competence and experience. In roles involving particular trust, access or responsibility, the organisation must also understand the risk that comes with the role and which information it is relevant to check. We combine role and risk assessment, verification and structured interviews in a comprehensive process that safeguards security, privacy and the candidate in a proportionate way.
Recruitment with a focus on security
Security-oriented recruitment starts with the role, not the person. We help the organisation clarify which assets, access and consequences are associated with the position, and tailor assessments and control measures to the actual need. The aim is a clear, verifiable and respectful process that strengthens both the basis for the decision and confidence in the recruitment.
Background checks and assessment
Background checks must be relevant, necessary and tailored to the risk in the role. We assist with verification and assessments that give the organisation a better overview of the candidate's documented background, while discrepancies and uncertainty are handled in an orderly manner. No single piece of information should stand alone. Findings are assessed as a whole against the requirements of the role and the candidate's explanation.
This role-based approach is also in line with the recommendation from NSM that organisations should carry out specific risk assessments before hiring, tailor their background checks and make individual overall assessments.
