A candidate seems ideal on paper, but something doesn’t add up? Missing diploma, unverifiable references, experiences that seem inflated… Fake CVs are costly for companies in PACA. Aquila Stratégie verifies the professional backgrounds of your future employees for you, with complete discretion and in strict compliance with the legal framework.
CV Verification and Professional Background Checks in PACA. Private Detective for Businesses
Why verify a candidate's background?
According to several European studies, a significant portion of CVs contains inaccuracies, unobtained qualifications, positions never held, or inflated experience durations. For positions of responsibility or trust, poorly secured recruitment exposes your company to concrete risks:
- Internal fraud and embezzlement
- Unauthorized access to sensitive or confidential data
- Usurpation of a regulated professional qualification
- Recruitment of a profile with a history of unfair competition
- Employment litigation based on a contested hire
A verification conducted by a certified private detective allows you to secure your recruitment decision before the contract is signed.
What our investigators verify for you
Verification of diplomas and certifications
Our investigators directly contact the declared institutions (universities, schools, certification bodies) to confirm the actual attainment of the diploma or qualification mentioned on the CV. We also detect fake diplomas purchased from fictitious organizations.
Professional reference checks
We verify the actual existence of the cited employers, the duration and the position actually held, and gather information on the circumstances of departure. This check allows for the detection of career embellishments and fictitious experiences.
Background checks and character investigations
For sensitive positions, our detectives collect legally accessible information on the candidate’s general profile: presence in public legal proceedings, proven history of fraud, and reputation in the professional environment. All our investigations comply with GDPR and labor law.
Detection of active non-compete clauses
Some candidates are still bound to their former employer by a non-compete clause that they fail to mention. Recruiting such a profile can expose your company to legal action. Our investigators identify these situations in advance, before you become involved in a dispute. See our page on unfair competition in PACA.
A clear report, ready for immediate use
At the conclusion of our investigation, you receive a comprehensive investigation report written by a CNAPS certified investigator, including:
- The list of verified points and sources consulted
- The confirmation or refutation of each element of the CV
- Any inconsistencies or anomalies detected
- An operational conclusion to support your recruitment decision
This report is directly usable by your HR department, your legal department, or your lawyer in the event of subsequent litigation before the labor courts.
