Pre-Employment
Screening |
| |
Employment
screening for business has been our area of specialization
for over 30 years. Statistics show that 60% of C.V.'s
(resumes) have been falsified in one way or another.
These falsifications are sometimes harmless; i.e.
the individual fabricates some recreational hobbies
such as football or cricket so that they can demonstrate
their ability to be a "team player", but
there can also be serious breaches of legal or ethical
boundaries. Typical examples of these are : |
| |
|
| |
- Omit a previous employment record due to the
loss of a job over a certain matter.
- Adding qualifications that have never been
obtained.
- Fabricating the entire C.V. to attain a specific
position.
|
| |
|
| |
The
individuals employed must meet a certain criteria
and have the correct qualifications to integrate
into the workplace and be productive. Most companies
think of staff as assets and so invest time and
money to ensure that these people are highly productive
and also content in their working environment. |
| |
|
| |
When
a situation arises where there is doubt as to the
legitimacy of a C.V, we are able to confirm the
details contained and, where necessary, check to
see if any previous employment details have been
omitted. We offer a full package of employment screening
services including verification of credentials and
references, checking of public records, and character
evaluation. Each check will provide the most accurate
and current information available, summarized and
provided to you in an easy to read investigative
report. These services can be provided quickly and
efficiently since we understand that it is not practical
to wait for a number of weeks to obtain the required
information and risk losing a potentially valuable
member of staff. We work with you to determine the
information you need to make informed, responsible
hiring decisions. |

- Internal fraud
- Theft by employees
- Misappropriation of information and industrial
espionage
- Copyright, patent and trademark infringement

Ignoring
the integrity of employees at management level could
prove costly for any large company. Any employee
in a significant position within the company has
the potential to cause severe damage if access can
be gained to databases and confidential information.
Your company security is only as strong as the weakest
link. |
| |
|
| |
How
well do you really know your employees?
What do they do after office hours?
Are they involved in a parallel business?
Are they meeting your competitors? |
| |
|
| |
We
can give you all the answers. Our goal is to provide
fast, accurate and cost effective information as
and when you require. We carry out evaluations of
these employees considered to be at these "risk
positions". A comprehensive report is submitted
on their background, criminal record, previous employment
history and education qualifications submitted to
you. A detailed report on their social behavior,
and known associates is also submitted giving you
total peace of mind. |

Asset
Search & Verification Services |

Detective
Network's Asset Search & Verification Services
are designed to locate and identify company or individually
held assets such as real estate property, vehicles,
business ownership interests, income sources, and
liabilities such as civil litigation, judgments,
tax liens, defaults and bankruptcies. Professional
analysis of each matter will often afford further
relevant information, which will be detailed in
our report. Supporting documentation may be located
and retrieved upon request. Field activity will
be conducted in most instances to verify findings
and develop additional information. A Comprehensive
Asset Search is recommended for matters involving
multiple subject debtors or missing/hidden assets.
In this investigation, our efforts are focused as
requested and within the agreed budget and turn-around
allowance. |

Financial
institutions and corporations find it is invaluable
to have thorough, detailed knowledge of new business
associations. Detective Network provides the necessary
financial/operational analysis and background information
which assists in taking the right decision regarding
new client relationships. We can also check the
competence of these subjects and compile an in-depth
report into their trading practices, and other aspects
of their businesses. |
| |
|
| |
Time
and again we have been retained by corporations
to verify the existence and assets of potential
new clients and / or companies in other parts of
the world. Our worldwide networking capabilities
ensure that such investigations are conducted thoroughly,
confidentially and expeditiously. We have the ability
to locate the owners and true beneficiaries of a
business, even in the most complex of domiciles
and subsequently establish a true financial picture.
From this point we can then, if needs be, examine
the individuals who head the business to establish
if they are involved in any other organization,
or if there could be a conflict of interest. |

Detective
Network will protect your organization from counterfeit
merchandise and gray market trading. We have been
actively locating and purchasing counterfeit goods
including but not limited to videos, software, clothing
and electronics. We have established undercover
trading companies that obtain data and merchandise
from suspicious sources. Our network of investigators
all over the country enables us to monitor the movement
of these counterfeit, gray market merchandise in
the country. Once discovered, we can determine the
legal status, size, markets and ownership of subjects
selling illegal products. Additionally, we are experienced
in coordinating with law enforcement authorities
to conduct raids leading to the seizure of these
counterfeit goods. |

Bank
Frauds, Cheating & Embezzlements |

Fraud
and larceny threaten corporate effectiveness and
efficiency and must be eliminated in order to maintain
a company's competitive edge in the market place.
Many financial institutions rely on us to analyze
and interview employees to identify internal fraud.
Enormous amount of money may be saved by timely
detection and correction of these problems. These
unscrupulous individuals and companies apply for
financial aid and loans from banks and financial
institutions on the basis of falsified information.
Detective Network is often called upon to conduct
independent internal investigations and verify the
information submitted at the time of these applications.
We also assist these organization in tracing defaulters
who have not been found using conventional methods. |

Espionage
& Counter Espionage |
| |
It
is now essential that companies guard their information
more vehemently then ever. The methods involved
by third parties to obtain confidential information
are varied, but we have found that there are three
main ways in which they employ these methods: |
| |
|
| |
"Under
Cover Agents" or "moles" are placed
within organizations, their sole purpose being to
pass information to competitors, or even worse,
sell the information to the markets highest bidder.
These "moles" usually take the form of
either an existing employee who requires the information
for his/her own purposes or has been approached
by a third party with the promise of financial gain,
or someone applying for a job with the sole purpose
of obtaining the relevant information. We have found
that there are a number of ways to locate the individuals
concerned together with the methods that they employ.
Following their location we can then locate their
true employers and legal action can be instigated. |
| |
|
| |
Under
Cover Operatives |
| |
Alternatively,
we can monitor their movements within your organization,
place investigators under-cover to work along side
them and subsequently, if required, befriend them
and maintain surveillance upon them outside of your
organization, to establish whom their employers
are. |
| |
|
| |
Electronic
surveillance equipment is placed on the company's
premises and is monitored either on site or remotely.
This involves either an employee placing the equipment
in the relevant manner or a third party entering
your premises and placing the equipment themselves.
We have a range of electronic countermeasures to
prevent meetings and telephone conversations being
eavesdropped and computers being interrogated without
the authority of the user. We can also provide a
security survey of your premises and suggest measures
that will make electronic eavesdropping virtually
impossible. |

Risk
Analysis |
| |
Risk
analysis is a term that broadly defines the implementation
of investigative methods to gauge potential risks.
This encapsulates a variety of situations from physical
protection through to information security. |
| |
|
| |
All
companies or organizations have physical or electronic
systems in place that are designed to increase productivity
and allow the smooth running of day-to-day business.
Typical examples of these are standard staff procedures,
bespoke communications equipment and software packages
that enable the input and logging of information.
We have found that most areas can be exploited and
subsequently increase the risk of a serious problem. |
| |
|
| |
We
can perform a security audit of your organization
to evaluate the potential hazards of your procedures
and systems. We do this by investigating each specific
area of your business and examining the way in which
it works, what it's goals are and how it interacts
with other areas. We concentrate on the passage
of information and the physical interaction of staff
with that information. Once this is complete we
then compile a thorough report outlining, where
necessary, areas which need improvement and the
suggested methods to implement these improvements.
If required, we can then assist in the implementation
of these methods and any staff training that is
needed. |
