OPTIMIZE SCREENING IN MEDIA RECRUITMENT
Identify Risks with Easy-to-Implement Checks
In the media world, quick hires and freelance roles are common, often with minimal screening. While speed is an asset, neglecting background checks can pose significant risks. Employers may unknowingly hire individuals with concerning histories or insufficient experience—integral factors in media roles.
Verify skills and qualifications
Candidates might lack the necessary expertise for high-profile projects. Without a proper screening process, verifying someone's skills or identity becomes challenging. This oversight can compromise projects and reputations alike.
Potential issues without checks
Imagine an on-air personality lacking a necessary license facing legal scrutiny—or a producer without the required permits hindering production, resulting in penalties for your company.

With screening, government bodies ensure themselves of reliable and trustworthy personnel
When it comes to compliance, every level of an organisation must meet certain standards. This is why employees in government-related jobs are screened regularly by their employer–to make sure they're qualified and safe enough for the job at hand; if not then there could be risks taken on behalf of other people which would lead to accidents or abusive situations.

Screen your staff in the financial sector and comply with international regulations.
It is becoming increasingly difficult for organisations to comply international regulations. In addition to ID verification, clients must also be checked for sanctions and PEP status. This should be easier, we think. That is why we developed a customer due diligence that, just like Commerzbank, Geldmaat and Lendex, lets you know within 20 minutes who you are doing business with.
