Acumen Executive Screening was formed in recognition of the increasing demand for organisations to be both responsible and accountable for the people they employ. Whether in public service or commercial enterprise too many employers pay little more than lip service to verifying effectively the people they appoint.

Over 80% of CVs, from office juniors to company directors contain inaccurate or fictitious information. While the application of recruitment tools can provide a reliable indication of a candidate’s professional and personal suitability for a position, integrity and honesty can only properly be assessed through rigorous and robust screening and referencing.

It is not uncommon for new employees to be granted early access to sensitive corporate information, to be allowed to interact with clients and customers or to work with vulnerable people. To attract and recruit talented, high quality people is expensive.

The cost of recruiting the wrong person may be prohibitive. Our consultants will work with you to ensure the people you appoint are everything they claim to be.
