The Personal Enquiry
The purpose of this enquiry is to focus on the candidate’s character. We are looking for specific and conclusive evidence of honesty, integrity, reliability and trustworthiness.
For this report we interview a minimum of two referees, in person wherever possible. It is our experience that useful meaningful information can rarely be acquired without personal face-to-face interviews. However we recognise that each case has to be considered individually and there may be constraints, such as cost and the accessibility of referees, which mean compromises have to be made. The more interviews we conduct the more extensive the investigation but we would not recommend more than four unless the earlier interviews brought to light an issue requiring further investigation.
Based on the results of the interviews, we may recommend a personal interview and/or ask that the applicant complete a statement to be subjected to SCAN analysis.
In addition, we search Government databases to see if the Candidate might have any conflicts of interest through their recorded involvement in other companies.
This enquiry is recommended for managerial, executive and board appointments, especially where the role carries fiscal responsibilities and legal liabilities.
The Personal enquiry report includes all the employment screening enquiries undertaken in our Critical, Integrity and Professional enquiry services.
