Pre-employment screening checks in Hong Kong

Our experienced team in Hong Kong will provide a pre-employment screening check, employee and management (background) assessment services to ensure your organization will hire personnel with only the highest ethical standards, to understand every person you employ, and to fully protect your organization against reputational damage and financial loss.

As employees are at the heart of every company, companies cannot afford to “blindly” recruit. As an employer there is a duty of care to safeguard the company assets and towards other staff members. Conducting proper background checks, often in the form of pre-employment screening checks, Suzzess Hong Kong gives you the evidence and confidence you need to make the right recruitment decisions.

Our 8-step approach to help you hire the right person based on skills, experience, and integrity.

Suzzess is in a position to conduct the following investigations as part of a pre-employment screening check:


  • Profiling

    Obtain the employees’ personal background via desktop searches and proprietary databases. These records may include family information, place and date of birth, addresses, criminal records, work histories etc. This will provide a general picture to the employee's background.

  • Corporate associations

    Conduct directorship and pre-employment screening checks on the employee, to determine any associated companies. Based on the identification of companies, provide corporate filings which reflect the legal structure, ownership and business license expiration of the Company. Is the employee an officer of a competitor? This search may be extended to immediate family members.

  • Civil and criminal litigation history

    Confidential law enforcement checks with appropriate agencies and/or publicly available records, including databases where appropriate, to determine if the employee has been involved in any civil or criminal matters (either as a Plaintiff or Defendant). Have they ever had a judgment or fines levied?

  • Address verification

    If required, our investigators will conduct a site visit to the residential address of the employee as part of the pre-employment screening check process, to verify his/her residence and to ascertain the employees’ general living conditions.

  • Press Review

    Search both native language and English press, including local business reports and professional journals, and mainstream media, to determine the employee’s reputation, any known controversy, major business activities and other social and business relationships of interests. Is the employee a known criminal or have controversial pasts or associations? Access intelligence reports where available, for previous investigations.

  • Governmental Affiliations

    Searches online and with confidential sources and to determine whether the employee is affiliated to the Government, related to a political figure/family or known to be politically involved or attached to political associations.

  • Education and work background

    Where possible, verify other information as provided by the client. Note that where a written authorization from the employee is not provided, verification will be conducted via desktop searches.

  • Informal interviews

    Conduct inquiries with industry and other sources for reputational and integrity information.
