New Zealand's only full-time independent Background Screening company

Can you afford not to verify your job applicants?

Clearly “No”, as illustrated by these recent high profile New Zealand cases:

Our expertise helps companies eliminate the stress and uncertainty associated with trying to figure out if a CV is genuine, and whether a job applicant’s background history or integrity fit with your company’s values.

 

Our Guarantee

We are so confident about the value of our reports and assessments as part of your "due diligence" recruitment policy programme, that if you are unsatisfied in any way, then we do not charge for our services. Simple as that.

 

What You Need To Know About Us

PVL was founded by Craig Gubbins, a former Manager of the New Zealand Government’s own employee vetting programme. 

In choosing PVL for your pre employment screening and background checking requirements you benefit from the wealth of employee assessment experience that Craig developed during his 26 year career with the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service.

 

What We Can Offer You

From a traditional background check to online integrity tests or specialised forensic analysis, PVL’s products and services are the most comprehensive available in New Zealand, and can be tailored to meet the needs of any company.

In addition to being a one-stop solution for your employee screening needs, PVL has several defining points of difference:

  • we are not simply information brokers, we don’t just collect information such as Police checks, credit checks or reference checks - and leave you to figure out their significance. We do much more than just a resumé check.
  • You receive a comprehensive written report and assessment of the relevance of all information collected so you can make an informed decision about whether to hire the candidate.
  • You have access to our 20-minute online Integrity Test, a non-invasive, interactive, computer-based test that accurately predicts the predisposition of a candidate towards counter productive behaviour, including theft, substance abuse, gambling, bribery; and whether they will be an accountable and loyal employee.
  • If you do hire the candidate we are always available to assist with issues or concerns that might arise regarding their honesty and integrity. It is essential to periodically re-evaluate your staff as almost all employee fraud is committed by longer-serving personnel. See our “Due Diligence” programme for details of the ongoing services we provide, that will protect you even further.
  • PVL is a member of the internationally recognised National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS), with over 680 member companies worldwide. Our membership gives you access to a global network of in-country specialists.
  • Recruit from overseas with confidence!  We can facilitate the essential foreign background checks you require with one of our trusted overseas partners – native speakers, working in local time-zones, who are familiar with the laws and privacy regulations of their country.
  • New in 2010 ! - We can now verify the authenticity of Chinese educational qualifications with the PRC Ministry of Education.
