Background Screening Services
Vendor Screening
In today's business atmosphere, small mistakes have big consequences. Hiring a company to provide goods and services without first verifying its performance record and financial standing can result in fraud, shoddy work and lost time and money.
Apollo helps companies, government agencies and individuals determine the abilities and integrity of potential and existing vendors. Through Apollo's Vendor Integrity Program, clients learn whether vendors have criminal records, financial troubles or business relationships that could create costly conflicts or be deeply embarrassing.
What We Do
Apollo's Vendor Integrity Program is designed to hold vendors to ethical standards set by your company and to prevent problems that could have a negative impact on your company's revenues and reputation.
You won't face administrative, screening or database maintenance problems because the verification process is handled entirely by Apollo. Because Apollo gathers information and provides reports electronically, your costs are lower and project turnarounds are faster.
How It Works
Apollo's consultants initially get together with you to completely comprehend your business requirements and institute your principles. Once this is completed all existing and potential vendors undertake screening to make certain that they meet these principles.
Prospective and current vendors pay the screening cost to be eligible for employment or continued service. The cost depends on the concentration of the inquiry you want. Vendors also must sign a commerce practices declaration that outlines your principles of conduct and ethical practices.
Vendors then complete a thorough survey that's submitted to Apollo by electronic means. Apollo's investigators analyze the data presented by vendors and gather added data.
When the inquiry is finished, you take delivery of a final report that verifies the correctness of submitted information and supplies new information regarding the vendor you may well not have identified. Apollo also assesses the risk of employing the vendor.
