“We requested a risk profile analysis on a potential candidate applying for a position with our organisation. Information was provided to them to verify the candidate’s details. We further required verification of the subjects' online presence and engagements which is important for our organisation to ensure that staff do not have negative or other affiliations. All of this information was provided within the timeframe allowing us to make an informed decision regarding the position being offered”.
