The Legal Landscape of Applicant Screening in Kenya
Conducting applicant screening in Kenya must align with the Data Protection Act, 2019, ensuring that all personal data collected is processed fairly and lawfully. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd is committed to upholding these principles, obtaining consent where required and limiting data collection to what is necessary for the screening purpose. Our services are designed to comply with regulations related to employment, credit checks, and general due diligence. We understand the importance of balancing an employer's need for information with an applicant's right to privacy. Adherence to guidelines from bodies such as the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics for demographic data and understanding the implications of the Employment Act, 2007 for employment-related screenings are integral to our ethical framework.
Comprehensive Applicant Screening Procedures
Our applicant screening services encompass a wide range of checks to provide a holistic view of a candidate. This typically includes verification of academic and professional qualifications through educational institutions and licensing bodies like the Engineers Board of Kenya (EBK) or Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board (KMPDB). We conduct thorough employment history verification, contacting previous employers to confirm roles, responsibilities, and performance. Criminal background checks, credit history reports (with consent), and verification of identity documents are also standard components. For roles requiring specific clearances, we can assist with obtaining information from relevant government agencies, always ensuring compliance with disclosure requirements and privacy laws.
Investment in Screening: Fees and Value Proposition
The investment in thorough applicant screening services is a proactive measure that can save significant costs associated with negligent hiring, employee turnover, or internal fraud. Swipe Recoveries Experts Ltd offers flexible pricing models to suit different needs. Basic background checks might start from KES 7,000 per applicant, while more extensive due diligence packages, including extensive credential verification and deep dives, can range from KES 15,000 to KES 50,000 or more. These costs reflect the professional time, access to proprietary databases, and meticulous verification processes involved. Our service provides peace of mind and ensures you build a trustworthy and competent workforce, offering substantial value in risk reduction and talent acquisition.
