Pre-employment screening Germany

To gain insight into potential risks associated with a specific position, it’s important to screen applicants thoroughly. This helps safeguard integrity and prevents unpleasant situations, such as hiring the wrong person or damaging your company’s reputation.

You screen to protect your business.

We can’t tell you who to hire, but we can tell you who you’re hiring.

 

Who should you screen with pre-employment screening?

Pre-employment screening can be applied at all levels of an organisation. The level of risk tied to a position determines the depth of the screening. For example, you may only need to verify a person’s identity, while more comprehensive screenings can include checking diplomas, references, and full CVs.

We understand it can be difficult to determine exactly what you’re allowed and able to screen for. DISA supports you throughout this process. Together, we review your situation and provide tailored advice.

Why pre-employment screening?

During a pre-employment screening, specific details about a candidate are verified to uncover potential risks that may affect their job performance, for instance, checking educational credentials. However, screening candidates can be complex and may place additional responsibilities on your HR department.

That’s why many organisations choose to outsource this process and use a dedicated pre-employment screening service, such as the one offered by DISA.

This means DISA verifies the accuracy of a candidate’s information, such as educational records. We work with trusted partners and use smart data integrations to quickly obtain verified information directly from the source.

With DISA’s pre-employment screening, you can focus on driving your organisation’s success.

Risk reduction

It’s becoming easier to fake qualifications, while political and regulatory pressure to safeguard your company against external threats continues to grow.

Legal requirements

For roles within critical infrastructure or organisations certified under standards such as ISO 27001, C5, or TISAX, thorough screening of applicants for high-risk positions is strongly recommended and in some cases mandatory. This helps minimise risk and ensures compliance with current security and regulatory standards. 

Time savings

Our screening process delivers fast, reliable insights without adding to your workload. You can focus on strategic decisions, confident that everything is handled safely and in compliance.

Pre-employment screening and GDPR

At DISA, privacy and data protection are one of the main priorities. Our pre-employment screening process is fully GDPR-compliant. This means we collect and process candidates’ personal data only for pre-agreed purposes always with their explicit consent.

Your data is securely stored within EU  and handled with the utmost care. Access is strictly limited to authorised individuals within your organisation.

This way, you can confidently screen your candidates while remaining fully compliant with German data protection law.
