Explanation of the Background Check Components.

1. Bachelors Degree Check. {Top}
This component of the background check will look at the validity of the Bachelors Degree that the applicant presents to you at the time of application. For your assurance, this background check component will be verified at the source of the University that issued it. If the University is in a foreign country for example in the United States or in the United Kingdom, we are still able to verify it via our offices in those 2 countries. We have collaborative agreements with the major Universities in Uganda granting us the power to carry out this particular background check. For foreign Universities, clear systems exist in those countries to carry out this research. The results will confirm to you whether the applicant actually took the courses and also whether they learned the skills required for the job they apply for.

2. Masters Degree Check. {Top}
Like the Bachelors Degree above, the purpose of this background check component is to confirm to you whether the applicant you are considering, actually took the Masters classes and is qualified to do the job at hand. Again, we have collaborative agreements with the major Universities in Uganda that give us the ability and power to mine the applicant records. A Masters degree can easily mean the difference by millions between jobs. For foreign Universities, we are able to verify those degrees for you as well with the help of our offices in the United States and in the United Kingdom.

3. Previous Employers’ Check. {Top}
The number of previous employers that we check on depends on the background check package that you order. You can have us check with anywhere from 2 to 4 previous employers. While carrying out your background check, we talk to the HR departments of the previous employers but we also dig deeper with priority questions that psychologists have proved do bring out the most from people. With this kind of depth, you are guaranteed accurate information about your applicant from all the previous employers. The previous employers are able to talk freely because of the legal waiver that the applicant signs at the beginning of the background check process. We show them the applicant-signed legal waiver at the time of interviewing them.

4. Certificates Check. {Top}
You will get applicants who have additional certificates other than the standard degrees. We verify all certificates that the applicant presents to you. These certificates usually relate to things like workshops, seminars, trainings etc. This is a key area where many fraudulent applicants will try to cheat you. You can rest assured that as long as they present it, it will be checked. Regardless of the number or origin of the certificate, Bureau Associates scour the country analyzing and verifying certifications. Again, the legal waiver that the applicant signs at the beginning of your background check process comes in handy for this background check.

5. Licenses Check. {Top}
Closely linked to the certification check is the licensing check. Licenses are issued by professional bodies for exceptional accomplishments by the individual. Licenses may include things like ACCA, CMA, practitioners’ licenses etc. This is another area where potential fraudulent applicants will attempt to bilk you. You can rest assured though, that they will be caught. The Bureau Associates verify each individual license with the issuing organization to ensure that all facts are straight. You will rest in the comfort of knowing that your background check has covered all conceivable cheat areas. The legal waiver that the applicants sign at the beginning of the background check process enables us achieve this depth of analysis and research for your direct benefit.

6. NSSF Number Check. {Top}
This background check component helps you verify whether the applicant’s claim of previous employment further matches the NSSF data on record. Keep in mind, this check does not give us the ability to look at the contents of the applicant’s social security fund. We do not have that kind authority, not by along shot. However, NSSF is able to let us know whether our records for the applicant, match theirs for the previous employers. Employers are required by law to deduct NSSF funds from their employees’ paychecks. So if the applicant really worked at a specific job, their NSSF account should show that fact. This check cross-references our information against NSSF data, checking for inaccuracies. Again for your comfort and confidence, we have collaborative agreements that enable us to achieve these tasks.

7. Central Police Check. {Top}
With this background check component, you are able to see the criminal record of your applicant. If the central police has them on record for any previous crime, you can know this immediately. The central police may refer us to other stations from time to time, but in all cases you will know for sure your applicant’s criminal past. We have collaborative agreements with the police that enables us to carry out this research against the records that they maintain. You can rest assured that a thorough criminal background check has been conducted.

8. Interpol Check. {Top}
Closely linked to the Central Police check, is the Interpol check. We have agreements with the Interpol and we work together with them in areas where we are still growing. The information that is gathered for your background check package is verified against their data and they provide details about the applicant to us. This check, as a component of the background check packages, is available to you as part of some packages. You will be sure that your applicant has been cleared with the international police as well.

9. Polygraph Test. {Top}
The polygraph test, also known as the lie detector test, is a fundamental component of the pre-employment background check. All applicants are subjected to a polygraph test at the beginning of the background check process to get baseline facts. This test usually scares off many would-be fraudulent applicants. For your direct benefit, all facts generated during the background check process are compared to the original polygraph tests. The results of the comparison are entered into our algorithm software to generate statistical data specific to your applicant. The summary of these findings are presented to you for your direct consumption.

10. Professional Reference Check. {Top}
Your background check package also includes a thorough professional reference check. Professional references are those individuals that can attest to the applicant’s professional work ethic. They may include work related colleagues, professional club members etc. These are different from personal references who attest to an applicant’s personality. Depending on the pre-employment background check package that you select, you can receive anywhere from 2 to 5 professional reference checks done for you. These are all verifiable references whose contacts are included in your pre-employment background check results, and provided to you for your files and records.

11. Personal References Check. {Top}
As part of your pre-employment background check package, personal references are people that will attest to the applicant’s personality. This may include people like friends, acquaintances etc. Depending on the background check package that you choose, we can check anywhere from 2 to 5 personal references. These are verifiable references whose contacts and details are included in your pre-employment background check report. Our legal signed waivers help us get this information readily from this source, all for your benefit. The results from this background check may be subjective, but for your benefit, the internal priority algorithm software that we use has matrices that take that aspect into consideration.

12. U.R.A Check (Vehicle Ownership and TIN Number Check). {Top}
This is another component of your pre-employment background check. It helps you assess the applicant on 2 levels, vehicle ownership and TIN number check. First, the Tax Identification Number, TIN enables the matching of the applicant data to the revenue tax records. This tax record match is essential for verifying further the applicant’s previous employment and for as long as they say they were. Employers by law, do forward tax remittances to the URA for each employee. The length of the tax remittances directly links to the duration of the applicant’s employment. We have collaborative agreements with the URA that enable us achieve these accurate results straight from them for your direct benefit.

The second level of applicant assessment with the URA check component is verification of the applicant’s vehicle ownership history. This is an insurance policy for you. An applicant may access corporate funds fraudulently and buy a vehicle. If you have no background information that they actually did not own a vehicle before you hired them, they could say they had it from before. With this check, you will be able to know before hand if they own a car or not long before they even start working with your company. Armed with this information, you can cross examine your employee with factual data, as to how they came upon a new vehicle especially when they have not been in employment with you for long, or if your payment to them cannot support the purchase of the vehicle. Once more, the collaborative agreements enable us achieve these results for you.

13. Property Ownership Check. {Top}
Closely related to the vehicle check is the property ownership check. We have collaborative agreements with the Government Ministry of Lands and Housing that registers and maintains this information in its original form. These agreements enable the Bureau Associates to go directly to the source and verify whether your applicant does actually legally own property. Some applicants will purchase property with ill-gotten wealth while in your employment and claim it as theirs. With this check you will be able to know who has what before you hire them. Please be careful not to discriminate applicants based on what they have or don’t, or even generate for them a biased propensity to defraud you based on what they don’t have.

14. Prison Records Check. {Top}
Another component of the background check packages is a prison records check. This is done as part of some of the packages. With this check, you will be able to see the incarceration records, times, and offences that the applicant committed. Your decision to offer them a position with your company could depend on the severity of the reason for imprisonment. We have collaborative agreements with the prison authorities mandating us to gather this information on the applicants for you. This check is reserved for our highest package.

15. Local Council Check. {Top}
This background check component enables you to “see” the applicant at their lowest legal level, in their home area. From the results got with this background check, you will be able to know how the applicant relates to others out of the work place. It may include neighbor interviews, LC chairman interviews, etc. You need to know whether the applicant is a wife beater, whether they are rowdy at home, whether the professional demeanor that he presents at work is really genuine. This check can be subjective, but the algorithm software that we use takes that into consideration while churning the facts. For this check, the use of the legal waiver that the applicants sign is very evident. Nonetheless, you are guaranteed to receive refined results.

16. Medical Check-Up (Excluding HIV). {Top}
Another component inclusive in your background check package is a medical check up. This check up does not include an HIV check up. It looks at health checks that measure whether the applicant will be able to actually do the job and stand its physical bodily requirements. For example, if you are hiring for an Account or Project Manager, you need to know that this applicant can stand the rigorous visits to client sites, carry out field work duties, and has no medical impediment to slow him down. You don’t want an employee passing out on you due to heart or bronchial issues. The sweltering heat in Uganda can play games on the body. This test is carried out at a reknown medical facility with which we have collaborative agreements to perform these tests for you.

17. Controlled Substances Drug Test. {Top}
Loosely linked to the medical check up test is the controlled substances drug test. This is part of the more comprehensive pre-employment background check packages. With this check you will be able to know whether the applicant is using or has used controlled drug substances. This background check is carried out at a reknown medical facility as well, guaranteeing the findings for you. This check covers a specific period in the history of the applicant. You can enjoy this check when you select the “higher level” pre-employment background check package.

As You Can See,

The pre-employment background check process is very extensive and thorough. All conceivable areas are covered for your direct benefit and you can go ahead to make that important hiring decision with confidence and accuracy. You will also have additional comfort in the knowledge that for all results that you get, collaborative agreements and legal waivers exist to mandate the process. Also, we encourage you to crosscheck the results that you get from time to time to see how you continually receive only the freshest results from us.
