PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING Profile Screening Services offers pre-employment background screenings at competitive prices with expeditious turnaround times.

A comprehensive background check conducted by Profile Screening Services can help to identify positive and negative career and behaviour patterns of a prospective hire. Our pre-employment background screening provides companies with the information to make informed hiring decisions.

Given that we work in a global environment, time differences are no longer an issue because you can access this system twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week! We realize that recruiting takes time and that time is essential when attempting to hire the right individual for a position. By accessing the results of the screening during the process, an employer can confidently make an accelerated offer to a candidate he/she might have otherwise lost. The screening process is a cost reduction tool for our clients. Since results can be viewed and monitored while they are gathered, a client may recognize that a candidate is not a good match for the company.

INSURANCE & WSIB INVESTIGATIONS Claims Experience Since our beginning in 1990, has successfully assisted the private industry in gathering the evidence needed to combat fraudulent insurance and WSIB claims. Our investigators have appeared to provide professional testimony in insurance, WSIB, ministry, criminal and civil arbitrations and proceedings. In order to effectively reduce fraudulent claims, litigators and insurance/safety professionals must be provided with accurate information and reliable evidence. All of our investigators are properly trained and comply with all current legislation, regulations, and privacy considerations to ensure that the evidence presented stands up to any challenges. We conduct surveillance with the utmost discretion, and provide supporting video documentation, accompanied by a written report of our findings. Profile has worked with a multitude of insurance, government, and private industry companies over the years in controlling insurance, WSIB claims and costs. We regularly conduct training classes for companies on ways to control costs and get the most value from surveillance. Accident & Collision Reconstruction Our accident reconstruction specialists have successfully presented three-dimension forensic simulations of motor vehicle collisions and industrial accident evidence in criminal and civil courts within the province of Ontario. In addition to our two Level Four accident reconstruction investigators, Profile employs the services of a registered Doctor of Chiropractic medicine and Certified Kinesiologist. Our doctor provides enhanced medical reviews of reconstruction and surveillance files, going one step further by providing our clients with additional evidence and documentation. Upon reviewing surveillance video, a professional opinion is provided whether the claimed injuries could have resulted from the accident or if the activity observed is consistent with the claimed injuries and restrictions. Witness Interviews Our investigators have mastered the verbal and non-verbal skills required to conduct a live interview including how to reduce the effects of the interviewer/subject relationship on the statement, and at the same time be alert to the red flags of deceptive verbal statements. Statement Taking Statements can be evaluated for consistency, logic and linguistic indicators of deception. Interviewees focus on the content of their stories, editing what to disclose unaware of their unconscious choices in the ways in which they describe events. Our investigators have mastered the science of statement analysis and can decipher an interviewee s intended meaning by focusing on word choice and sentence construction.

Our consultants can integrate into all aspects of a company s operations. The benefit of our managed security program is that a company has only to pay for security consulting whenever needed. Risk Management Solutions An experienced board certified security consultant from Profile can conduct a survey of a company s location(s), offering recommendations on ways to improve the existing physical security program or design that would protect your facility and employees. This survey determines specific facility vulnerabilities that would require additional safeguards. Our consultants can also work with companies to create or update policies on sensitive security issues, including workplace violence, data security, pre-employment screenings, emergency contingency plans and drug and alcohol abuse. Our consultants will provide the tools needed to keep your business in business. Theft/Fraud Prevention Programs At Profile, we realize that no two companies are the same; consequently, we never institute the same procedures or techniques. The first step is to scan or survey an organization in search of flaws or weaknesses within the system that allow any persons or groups the opportunity to divert or steal assets. We can provide a range of services for numerous areas of theft and fraud (internal/external, employee, vendor/contractor, secret commission, conflict of interest, expense abuse, salesperson activity, etc.).

Law Enforcement Liaison Profile Investigation has a solid reputation and excellent rapport with all police departments and labour liaison personnel. Our co-ordinator serves as your liaison between your management team and the local police. It is imperative that the company representing your interests has not only solid related service references, but also has a good reputation and rapport with the police. Video Surveillance Our co-ordinators establish a central control point, which is situated with a full view of the main picket area. Investigative operatives with video cameras are strategically set-up to monitor picket lines. Our video surveillance is executed in a manner in which the picketers on the line are aware they are being monitored and taped, but not done in a way that is antagonistic. In addition to assisting in the pursuit of an injunction, the use of video cameras are likely to deter and de-escalate incidents to help defend against any fraudulent claims of injury or abuse on the picket-line. Demonstration/Picket Line Management Our labour disruption co-ordinator meets with local labour police liaison, members of your management team and representatives from the union in attempts to establish an acceptable protocol. Any movement of goods is controlled and supervised with the co-ordinator and management. Employee/Management Awareness Training We help management teams prepare for problems before negotiations breakdown (sit-ins, vandalism, etc.) Our labour disruption coordinator trains your management and employees who must cross the picket line on security awareness during a disruption (picket line protocol, proper picket line crossing, what to expect during a labour disturbance). Typically the average worker never crosses a picket line; thus, in order to avoid potential negative occurrences, it is crucial they are properly trained on what to expect and what not to do.
