PES & OSINT Training – Build Screening Expertise Within Your Organization

Background checks are a matter of trust.
Many companies prefer not to rely on external providers for pre-employment screenings – whether for reasons of confidentiality, speed, or cost control. With our PES & OSINT Training, we enable your internal teams – whether Corporate Security, Compliance, or HR – to carry out screenings professionally, efficiently, and in full compliance with legal requirements.

What your team will learn:

  • Clear legal frameworks (GDPR, NIS2, internal guidelines) for compliant processes
  • Practical OSINT techniques to gather relevant information quickly and efficiently
  • How to verify identity, qualifications, and professional background reliably
  • How to identify common risk signals such as conflicts of interest or security concerns
  • How to document findings and create structured, defensible reports
  • Tools and best practices for setting up an internal, repeatable screening process
Professional Risk-Based Pre- and Post-Employment Screening – When You Prefer to Outsource

Professional Risk-Based Pre- and Post-Employment Screening – When You Prefer to Outsource

Building internal screening capabilities is not always the best option – sometimes speed, complexity, or specific expertise make outsourcing the smarter choice. In these cases, we handle the screening process for you.

Our approach is transparent, risk-oriented, and fully compliant with data protection laws – giving you a solid foundation for hiring decisions while avoiding unnecessary risks.

Your benefits:

  • Reduce liability and the costs of bad hires
  • Protect your company’s reputation
  • Meet regulatory requirements reliably
We assess relevant risk factors such as false or misleading information, concealed identity or residence, problematic political affiliations, or other integrity concerns – always based on candidate consent and in strict compliance with privacy regulations. The depth and scope of our screening are tailored to the risk level of the position you are filling.

Our promise: 

Whether through our own screening services or by empowering your team, we help you gain security, speed, and control over critical hiring decisions.

Contact us today – we’ll be happy to advise you on the best way to integrate screening processes into your organization.
