Our services include:

Reference Checking
Verifying business and personal credentials provides invaluable information how the candidate is perceived by others, revealing competencies, work ethic and integrity. We interview the supplied references of the candidate, and where required, we will source out references. Britton Management Profiles typically performs at least three employment references based on the past employers listed by the candidate. The hiring manager ensures that we are provided three eligible references, such as managers, supervisors, colleagues or subordinates.

Employment Verification
Authenticating information provided by candidates regarding dates of employment, position and reason for termination, will assist in differentiating oversights or exaggerated claims. We will contact previous employers to confirm dates of employment, the position held, reason for leaving and eligibility for rehire.

Professional Designation Verification
Designations and Certifications are a common area that is overstated by a candidate. We verify claims directly with issuing organizations, which will determine the candidate's honesty and integrity.

Education Verification
Confirming educational accreditations such as diploma, degree, certificates and school attended, speaks to the candidate's qualifications for a position and salary. It also uncovers any fraudulent claims or fake diplomas by attaining verification direct from the educational institution. International verifications are also available.

Criminal Checks
A vital part of the pre-employment screening process is conducting a criminal check. It will help to identify candidates that are unsuitable and may pose a threat to the safety of others. Our search will provide either no record found or it will uncover information with respect to a record of a criminal conviction, or charge(s) pending before the courts in Canada based on the name, date of birth and gender provided. This search will not cover criminal offences which fall within the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

Credit Checks
Credit checks serves to indicate the candidate's financial responsibility. Identifying any derogatory credit information, bankruptcies, liens and judgments, or if the candidate has been involved in activities such as fraud, collection action or theft, is a valuable tool for candidates who will have financial privileges or access to company funds.

Driver Record Searches
Knowing a potential candidate's driving history is important when they are required to operate their own vehicle for business and/or are driving company vehicles.

Outplacement
The outplacement offers counselling to assist employees who are being dismissed to find new employment.
