Pre-Employment Background Checks
Hiring from Southern Africa? Know Who You’re Hiring Before You Commit.
International recruitment is expensive.
Before you invest in an employment permit, visa, relocation and onboarding, make sure the candidate is who they say they are.
The Recruitment Company provides on-the-ground background checks and candidate screening for international employers and recruitment agencies hiring from Southern Africa.
A CV Doesn't Tell You Everything.
Experience can be overstated. References may not stack up. Qualifications, licences and employment history need to be verified.
We help uncover potential red flags before they become your problem.
What Can We Check?
Depending on the candidate and role, screening can include:
  • Identity & Background Verification 
  • Criminal & Fraud Screening 
  • Previous Employment & References 
  • Qualifications & Licences 
  • Driver & Trade-Specific Checks 
  • Occupational Health Screening 
  • Additional Role-Specific Screening 
Screening is conducted under documented GDPR- and POPIA-aligned procedures, including candidate transparency and consent, controlled access, auditable verification methods, and secure information handling.
Already Found the Candidate?
Great. You don't need to use our recruitment service.
You Recruit. We Verify. You Decide.
One candidate or an entire recruitment campaign — we can provide an independent layer of screening before you commit.
Before the Permit. Before the Flight. Before the Hire.
Know more. Reduce your risk. Hire with confidence.
