Pre Employment Screening and Background Checks

Pre Employment Services - Candidate Screening and Testing

If you are managing the full recruitment process yourself, it’s a task which can often seem quite onerous. When you add in the time allocated to sourcing, assessing, interviewing, verifying, responding to and checking out each potential employee, it is a costly and time-consuming process. And at the end of it all, do you truly know who've you got?

Free yourself and recruit with confidence by gaining the peace of mind that comes with making an informed decision.

We can provide an unbundled range of essential, low-cost pre-employment tools to assist you, from preparing comprehensive and measurable job descriptions to the impartial testing and evaluation of skills and verification of qualifications, work and personal history. And we are accredited administrators of the highly regarded Genesys suite of psychometric assessments which are so valuable in predicting behaviours and the likelihood of success.

“Thank you Horizon for your personal touch, your professionalism and your commitment to the provision of excellence throughout the recruitment process.”
