Screening applicants
What do you need to know?
Why screen applicants?
- Prevent a mis-hire: A mis-hire can cause major reputational and financial damage. Most organisations choose employment screening based on risk management and its importance.
- Be assured of integrity: By hiring and retaining reliable employees with integrity, an organisation can consistently deliver quality and achieve sustainable growth.
- Comply with relevant laws and regulations: Thanks to our secured online system, our partnerships with data suppliers, our own legal manager and security & compliance officer, your organisation will always comply with all the relevant laws and regulations.
Why use a screening software?
- Unburdening the HR department: After a candidate is registered in DISA's system and the right screening profile is chosen, we take all the work off your hands.
- Efficiency and time savings: Thanks to our cooperation with several data suppliers, our average turnaround time is 5 working days. So your HR department saves time and you quickly know who you are hiring.
- Cost savings: Your organisation saves costs because DISA uses its network and smart links to quickly gain insight into the right data. This makes screening by DISA cheaper than the hidden costs of in-house screening.
How does it work?
In DISA's International platform, you can request a screening 24/7. Once the right screening profile has been chosen and the employee’s personal details have been filled in, DISA takes over. This includes all communication and automatic reminders.
Because of the chosen screening profile, the employee knows exactly what input is expected. This way, we guarantee the shortest possible turnaround time.
After receiving the correct data, a screening in the Netherlands or Sweden, with exceptions, takes an average of under 5 working days. Other international screenings often take longer.
In the meantime, you will have insight into the progress of the screening and will receive a clear screening report with our findings.
Security and GDPR
Ensuring the best level of security and privacy for all our screening solutions and services is of course fundamental:
- Safe environment: Personal data security and all screening processes are top priority at DISA. Our screening platform is technologically designed and continuously developed using privacy and security by design. In addition, DISA is ISO 27001 and 9001 certified and has an ISAE 3000 Type II assurance report.
-
Reducing legal risks: DISA operates under applicable laws and regulations relating to screening processes, such as the GDPR and other relevant (local) laws.
GDPR compliant screening
GDPR proof refers to compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that our screening software is compliant with the requirements of the GDPR. DISA processes certain personal data based on the instructions of the client, who is the data controller.
Nevertheless, as a processor, DISA also has obligations under the GDPR. For example:
- Processor agreements: These must be signed by each client. These include the basis of the data controller.
- Transparency: A company must clearly disclose what personal data is collected, why they collect it, and how they handle it.
- Data minimisation: Only the data needed to achieve a certain purpose should be collected.
- Data breaches: Data breaches should be reported to the controller as soon as possible.
Validata has its own Privacy Counsel, a separate Data Protection Officer (DPO) and also a processing register.
Integrations with ATS/HR-systems
DISA offers the possibility to easily link to another software via an advanced API. So you can easily link other systems your company works with to our screening software.
