Technology

Whilst there is no universal screening standard set by a regulatory body for the technology industry, Reed Screening’s experts understand that you need to have total assurance that the staff you take on have the integrity, skills and experience necessary for you to place your organisation’s trust, data and technology in their hands. As such, we’ve defined best practice screening packages to cover a variety of roles within the sector, to ensure you’ve got the right technologists joining your business and driving innovation.

Reed Screening provides screening packages designed specifically for the needs of the technology industry, with packages pre-tailored to mitigate risk when hiring for popular roles such as developers, information security, systems managers or chief technology officers. We cover everything from permanent hires and fixed term contractors, to temporary/agency supply chain.

With a minimum of effort on your part, we can provide you with the assurance that all your workers are screened to the high standard you need to ensure that your business is operating safely, efficiently and with appropriately qualified, responsible and reliable staff.
