HR risks under control: continuous screening for the Russian office of an international company

We built a continuous personnel vetting system — from mass screening to deep due diligence of top candidates — that filters out HR threats at the entry point.

100%

Ongoing
support on a regular basis

01Situation

An international company with a presence in Russia faced an underrated yet systemic threat — HR risk. A dishonest employee in a junior role can cause targeted damage, while a mistake in hiring an executive turns into strategic losses.

Internal HR procedures gave no objective picture of candidates' past: their real business ties, hidden conflicts of interest and business reputation. The client needed an independent tool that allowed hiring decisions to be made on facts rather than on the impression left by an interview.

02Our approach

  • Routine screening of all candidates on hiring: authenticity of application data, criminal records, debt obligations, disqualifications.
  • In-depth due diligence of candidates for executive positions: affiliation with competitors and counterparties, hidden conflicts of interest, involvement in legal entities, business reputation.
  • We standardized the report format so that HR and management could decide quickly and speak the same language.

“Vetting at the entry point costs incomparably less than investigating the aftermath of a bad hire.”

03Result

The client gained an objective filter at the company's entry point. Hiring decisions are made on verified data, and the likelihood of hiring someone with a hidden conflict of interest or a dishonest past is minimized.

The engagement moved into a permanent format — we support the client's hiring on a regular basis.
