EMPS - Premier Employee Background Screening

General information

Managed Integrity Evaluation (MIE) is the largest and most well-established background screening company in Southern Africa. Background screening - the process of checking the academic, criminal or credit history of an employee pre- or post-employment - has gained popularity in recent years with MIE completing over two million transactions each year since 2012.
With operations in 15 African countries, MIE’s service offering incorporates qualification, criminal, credit, identity, drivers licence and vendor screening. In highest demand, MIE’s qualification verifications are processed through the National Qualifications Register (NQR®). Owned and operated by MIE, the NQR® has a database of over 3.5 million graduate records and 24 subscribing tertiary institutions.
Conducted using Afiswitch technology, MIE’s criminal checks verify candidates’ fingerprints against the South African Police Service (SAPS) Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in order to determine their criminal background status.
A solution to combat procurement fraud, MIE developed ZoomOut™, a software application which filters through employee and vendor information. This technology identifies potential conflicts of interest or corrupt relationships within a client organisation’s supply-chain.
Taking the rights of candidates into consideration, relating to the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI), MIE only conducts background verifications on consenting candidates. It is also important to note that MIE is a registered Credit Bureau and complies with the regulations set out in the National Credit Act..
An internationally acclaimed entity, MIE provides background screening services to over 4000 clients within the human resources, recruitment and procurement sectors.
