If you want to be absolutely certain that the evidence you require in a court case will be irrefutable, and that it’ll have been gathered within legal boundaries, then you need to be absolutely certain that you hire an professional private investigator that values honesty and integrity highly.

Depending on the case in question, you could ask friends or business associates for recommendations if they’ve had to hire a PI, however, in most cases, it’s something you’d probably prefer to keep it very private, especially if it involves finding proof of infidelity.

Ultimately, this puts you in the position of having to become your own investigator on the hunt for the right person to trust with your case, which means you’ll have to check into whether a private investigator you’re considering has the background and experience to tackle your specific case.

You can ask the PI for recommendations from previous clients that have used his services for investigations similar to yours. He will know how to protect the identity of their client in the process, but you’ll have bona fide recommendations to base your decision on, and, if he’s cagey about any of this, you’d be better off looking elsewhere.

Above all, you want a private investigator that places high value on sticking to the code of conduct that governs his industry, which in South Africa is the PSiRA, the governing body that can protect you should you have problems with private investigator.

Another very important factor that contributes towards your ability to feel confidence in an investigator is whether he is open about the costs of the investigation, and to do so in a way that is in line with your budget. He should have enough experience and knowledge to know exactly how to cut costs yet still provide you with quality evidence.

Some of the ways in which the costs of an investigation can remain affordable is through the use of state of the art technology that any investigator today should be up to date with. A lot of this technology saves time on the investigation, which results in private investigator rates that can be tailored to any budget.

It has become common business practice these days for owners to take a proactive approach towards protecting their businesses from criminal elements they may inadvertently hire, on the basis of a manufactured CV, by hiring a private investigator to carry out pre-employment polygraph testing on potential employees.

It’s certainly one of the best preventative measures you could take to ensure that you’re hiring the right person, though of course this can’t be said to be infallible, there’s always one that may slip through the net.

That said though, if potential employees know that they’re going to be going through an in-depth background check that’ll also involve a polygraph test, it’ll already weed out the ones you don’t want ahead of interviews.

Once you’re faced with employee theft, whether of goods or money, more often than not, because you can’t just fire an employee without proof, you’re going to sit with that employee until you’ve exhausted the legal route to get rid of them.

Employee theft of every type is increasing year on year, especially with the damage that the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an already crippled economy, and with a massive increase in unemployment, which is costing businesses millions every year in South Africa.

Why are businesses turning to pre-employment polygraph testing?

Gut feelings are out & reality is in!

We’d all still like to trust what our gut feelings tell us when we meet someone we may employ, however, especially when it comes to employing staff for sensitive positions in bookkeeping for instance, gut feelings have had to take a backseat to the reality of in-depth background checks and pre-employment polygraph tests in an effort to cut down on employee theft and other criminal activities.

The need to know the full story behind the CV is essential!

It’s a fact that, rather than to take a dishonest employee to court, a lot of businesses will simply let the employee go, and, though they won’t have a glowing recommendation, there won’t be any mark there to tell you that you’re actually dealing with a criminal.

This makes it essential to know exactly who you’re dealing with before letting anyone into your business.

Crime syndicates, technology & manipulated CV’s!

There’s no doubt that technology has given crime syndicates targeting specific industries a new doorway into corrupting staff in sensitive positions, such as those that work in R&D, patenting, important company data and customer data bases.

These crime syndicates pay top dollar for information they can then sell to the opposition or competition, causing a ripple effect of damage to many companies that are in any event, just staying afloat in the current economic conditions!

Getting someone into your business to do the crime isn’t that difficult, if all you do is go on the face value of a CV, however, these can be manipulated to make false information appear real, and, when you call supposed references, what you really get on the other end of the line is a member of the syndicate putting the final touch to their criminal plans.

High-risk behaviour that can damage your business & reputation

No one can afford to hire an alcoholic, drug addict, child abuser or someone guilty of sexual misconduct, because at some point this will come back on you and the reputation of your business.

Rather than take the chance you may be lucky enough to employ one of the above that doesn’t get exposed, you owe it to yourself and your business success to protect your interests by making pre-employment polygraph testing and in-depth background checks a rule, rather than the exception.
