Mindit Consulting
Facilitating Reliable and Transparent Hiring Decisions

A 2022 study showed that the average cost of a bad hire is 30 percent of their annual salary. Beyond the money and hours lost to a bad hire, the waves of negative impact radiate outward, affecting nearly every aspect of an organisation. Onboarding an incompatible co-worker can bring down the performance and morale of the entire workforce, jeopardising the company’s brand. Bad hires can also take a toll on client relationships if they repeatedly fail to meet expectations.

This is where efficient employee background checks and screening programs come to the rescue. Mindit Consulting understands the importance of a capable candidate from the perspective of the company culture and the job role. The modus operandi of the company’s pre-employment screening process begins by explaining the benefits and approaches to candidates, after which it assesses them based on their professional experience, including work history, positions held, employment references, education, and social media activities.

Pre-employment background check service providers like Mindit Consulting help employers garner a clear picture of candidates, regardless of the information they share during the interview. The services are not only limited to Romania but are offered in European countries.

Catering to the growing trends in the gig economy, Mindit Consulting takes feedback from the candidate’s previous partnerships and collaborations, educational institutions, and other reliable points of contact before turning the data into actionable insights for clients. The acquired information helps HRs make informed decisions on the candidate’s potential and stability for the relevant job position.

Mindit Consulting also assesses medical history, criminal record, personality and character references, identity verification, lifestyle mapping, credit tracking, citizenship, and more. All the processes follow GDPR requirements and regulations and international legal norms.

“Our mission has always been to support our customers through an efficient partnership. We always align with their professional ethics, transparency, and efficiency when supporting their internal recruitment and selection processes,” says Rodica Veliche, general manager of Mindit Consulting.

The company is majorly differentiated by its commitment to exceeding client expectations. As part of any meticulous screening process, the company’s turnaround time is from 2 to 10 days within which background checks are performed, generating a report accessible for decision-making. The company also supports the client by giving an intermediary report in five days, which enables them to streamline decisions. In case of delays, the company notifies its clients and keeps them updated with any information available at the time.

Mindit’s competencies can be highlighted through a recent engagement, where a closer look at a candidate’s legal background revealed a professional dispute. The candidate had not shared that he had decided to contest his former employer’s decision to terminate him in the recruitment interviews when he had the opportunity. Through extensive detective work, Mindit Consulting provided the findings to the client, stopped potential fraud within their organisation, and protected their internal team and culture.

With such notable pre-employment screening capabilities, the company has made a name for itself in safeguarding the image and integrity of an organisation and its culture by helping HR onboard capable candidates. Moving ahead, Mindit Consulting strives to be an innovative extension of HR teams by backing them with the information they need to make the right hiring decisions.
