You’ve shortlisted a candidate who, on paper, appears to be the perfect fit for the job: exceptional qualifications, years of great experience, and an impressive skill set. However, once in the role, your new hire fails to align with your company culture, struggles to adapt to team dynamics, or under-performs, ultimately revealing that your initial assessment missed some crucial factors.
It’s an all too common scenario for many businesses, which is why, in this webinar, we explore why recruitment decisions can go wrong, and look at how we can make better candidate evaluations.
Join us in this webinar as we:
- Define the "perfect" candidate: Explore common misconceptions and pitfalls associated with the notion of the perfect candidate.
- Go beyond the resume: Assess the importance of cultural fit, soft skills, and alignment with company values in the hiring process.
- Evaluate what makes a good cultural fit: Learn strategies for gauging a candidate's compatibility with your organisation's culture and team dynamics.
- Assess soft skills: Identify essential soft skills for success in the role and develop methods for evaluating them during the hiring process.
- Share behavioural interview techniques: Discover effective questioning techniques to uncover a candidate's behaviours, attitudes, and decision-making abilities.
- Identify the red flags and warning signs: Recognise potential red flags during the interview process to avoid hiring missteps and make more informed decisions.
Featuring guests from leading HR brands, Codemonk, Workable, Helios and Abeceder, who share insights, advice and stories from the frontline of hiring, this is an unmissable session for anyone interested in creating better hiring outcomes and growing a safe, happy, and productive workforce.

FAQs
This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.
Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.
Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.
All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.
In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.
Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
