NZ Credit History
Time: within 24 hours
To find out whether there are any obvious reasons why the person’s financial situation might be putting them under pressure. Personal financial pressures can increase a person’s propensity to steal therefore placing your business at higher risk.
NZ Criminal History (Standard)
Time: approximately 3 business days
We verify the applicant’s disclosure with regard to their NZ criminal history and driving convictions.
(Note: The applicant is not required to disclose criminal convictions concealed by the Clean Slate Act 2004. It is important that your pre-employment application form states this clearly).
NZ Driver Licence Status
Time: within 24 hours
If it is intended that your candidate is going to be driving a company vehicle, we will verify the current status of the applicant's driver's licence, including any conditions placed on the licence. We can also alert you to any future changes in the status i.e. suspension or disqualification.
This will minimise the risk of any insurance claims being declined, or possible impoundment of the company vehicle (including towing and storage), if the licence holder is suspended or disqualified from driving.
NZ Demerits / Suspension History
Time: approximately 20 business days
Again, if it is intended that your candidate is going to be driving a company vehicle, we will verify any demerits against the applicant's drivers license from the past 7 years which can indicate the likelihood of them potentially losing their license in the near future.
NZ Police Vetting
Time: approximately 20 business days
(this can vary depending on the level of investigation required by NZ Police)
This is different from the standard criminal history check.
This check is designed as a more in-depth investigation into the history of the applicant whereby NZ Police may release information they have relevant to the purpose of the vetting.
It is designed for those positions that require interaction with the young, elderly and/or vulnerable people in our society.
