When money is missing...
Opportunity makes a thief, they say. And so does motivation. The SCAUT platform is here to help ensure you never give the dishonest candidate that opportunity. Remember, with the economic and energy crisis, more and more people face financial difficulties. The opportunity to help make ends meet by taking from an employer can be a temptation for anyone who handles cash, has access to sensitive information or has decision-making power.
The desire for a nice Christmas, lots of presents, or a spur of the moment decision to pay off a massive electricity bill. The risk of an employee falling victim to temptation is currently greater than ever. Limit this risk it by thoroughly screening job applicants so you have visibility into what kind of people you're bringing on board.
Disgruntled people do desperate things
What is driving people who go on to defraud their own employers? The ACFE report, based on a sample of more than two thousand cases from around the world, identified the following trends associated with Covid and the emerging crisis. The main triggers behind dishonest behaviour include:
- Fear of job loss
- Denial of a raise or promotion
- Cutting back on benefits
- Pay cuts
- Involuntary reduction in hours
It is therefore more important than ever to screen job applicants. Candidates who do not provide truthful information or hidee important details about themselves should not be trusted. A dishonest employee is more likely to turn against his or her own company when feeling threatened. SCAUT gives you the tools you need to make the right decision.
Peace of mind for a few crowns
What is the real cost of peace of mind? For many staff positions it can be as low as 250 CZK. A basic pre-Interview check will save you time and cost and will flag up issues with a candidate before they even arrive for an interview. Has the individual been fined? Is he or she perhaps in insolvency or even under investigation? Is it really the person? SCAUT will provide quick answers.
More responsibility, more risk
The higher the position, the more damage a dishonest employee can inflict. SCAUT offers screening packages tailored for screening production staff, data specialists as well as managers and decision makers who have a direct influence on a company’s direction.
Protect your reputation, money and data. While a basic integrity and [credibility check]](https://scaut.com/en/screening-detail/credit-basic) is often sufficient for entry-level positions, in the case of a managers SCAUT will also look for possible conflicts of interest, payment history and references to ensure you don't accidentally put responsibility into the hands of someone who has dishonestly embellished their CV. Remember, you can't trust someone who isn't honest with you.
