In the business world, it is important to hire the right employees. This is crucial for both day-to-day operations and long-term success. Every hire can significantly impact an organisation's growth, team dynamics, and overall productivity. In this situation, making smart choices about new hires is crucial for successful business management. Understanding that every business has its unique ethos and requirements, we've crafted our "Pre Hire Checks" to help ensure you know your new employee.
Beyond just verifying credentials, these checks can delve deep into a candidate's professional journey, personal character, and past behaviours. They provide businesses with a panoramic view of a candidate's background, from their educational qualifications to their work record.
This insight helps ensure you really know your new employee has a true background as discussed in your interview process.

In today's rapidly evolving business world, the stakes are high, and the margin for error is slim. Every hiring decision can have ripple effects throughout an organisation, influencing team dynamics, productivity, and even the company's bottom line. As businesses try to navigate the complex landscape, it is crucial to make informed choices when hiring new team members. Ensuring the authenticity and reliability of your new hire isn't just a routine procedure; it's a critical safeguard against potential pitfalls.
Pre Hire Checks serve as a company's first line of defence in this regard. They can meticulously verify the candidates' qualifications, certifications, and claimed professional experiences. But the value of these checks extends far beyond just academic and professional verification.
In the broader context, pre employment checks act as a window into a candidate's past behaviours, decisions, and character. They provide insights into aspects of a candidate that a resume or an interview might not have revealed.
In today's world, employee checks are crucial for managing risks as they can greatly affect a company's reputation. They assist in recognising and reducing possible issues that may harm the organisation's reputation, disrupt teamwork, or result in legal problems.
Pre-employment checks help businesses make smart decisions and create a positive work environment. They are more than just a hiring process; they are a valuable tool for informed and forward-thinking choices.

Mark is the consummate HR professional. When my son was ill and then subsequently passed away Mark was there to provide support and a shoulder every step of the way. I regard him as not only a former colleague but a friend and owe him an immense debt of gratitude for everything he did for me personally and also for my family. Mark ran a strong but supportive HR Team and was viewed very highly by everybody he worked with and on behalf of.

Mark worked with Tysers for many years and during that period he helped us build a quality company. Tysers is now 200 years old and the culture of the business continues, and Mark and the HR team can be very proud of this.Mark is excellent at looking after people and will take the time and patience to help all from a new starter to an executive. Mark has integrity and during my tenure as CEO (2009-2018) he was an integral part of our development with best wishes.

I just wanted to thank you for the service you provided here. These are difficult circumstances to navigate, and it definitely gave me peace of mind knowing that we were proceeding properly. I didn’t imagine that we would get to our preferred outcome quite so quickly, and am really pleased with the way this was handled. Most crucially, the rest of the staff now understand that we will treat these situations with utmost seriousness, and your role in communicating that commitment was quite important. Thank you again.

I worked with Mark at Tysers for many years when he was HR Director and I ran the North American Broking Operations. Mark provided a very efficient and effective service throughout his time with us covering all aspects of internal Management, recruitment and guidance to the Main Board. He was also very instrumental in helping us to succeed when we sold the Company into another Insurance Brokers in 2018. I would highly recommend his services in all matters HR related.
