Background Checks and Screening Services

OUR UNIQUE CRIMINAL RECORD VERIFICATION SOLUTION

One of Credence Screening Enterprise’s key differentiators is our advanced criminal record verification service.

Recruitment shouldn’t be delayed by unnecessary administration. Unlike traditional criminal checks that require candidates to travel to SAPS offices for fingerprint processing, our solution allows criminal record verification to be conducted using the candidate’s South African ID number only.

The result is a faster, simpler, and more accessible process that is especially valuable for rural recruitment, high-volume hiring and organisations seeking a better candidate experience without compromising due diligence.
