Hire With Confidence.
Verify Before You Commit.
Comprehensive background and reference verification that confirms credentials, surfaces misrepresentations, and gives your organisation the certainty to make every hiring decision with confidence.
Know Who You Are Hiring.
Before the Offer Is Made.
Ensure confidence in every hire with thorough verification services. At your request, Visaro Consulting conducts comprehensive checks to confirm candidates' credentials and suitability — covering criminal records and legal compliance, employment history and professional experience, and academic and professional qualifications.
Credential fraud and misrepresentation in recruitment are more common than many organisations realise. Candidates sometimes exaggerate or fabricate employment history, qualifications, or professional credentials — putting organisations at significant operational, reputational, and legal risk if the hire proceeds without proper verification.
We work with employers across Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda to conduct structured, confidential verifications — delivering clear, comprehensive reports that give hiring teams the facts they need to act with certainty.

Six Layers of Due Diligence
Our verification covers every dimension that matters — from legal standing and employment history to qualifications, references, and reputational risk.
Criminal Records & Legal Compliance
Legal standing & conduct history
We verify criminal records and legal standing across jurisdictions, ensuring candidates meet the legal and ethical requirements of your organisation and the role they are being considered for.
Employment History Verification
Previous roles, tenure & departure circumstances
We contact former employers directly to confirm job titles, responsibilities, dates of employment, and circumstances of departure — exposing gaps, misrepresentations, or embellishments before they become your problem.
Academic & Professional Qualifications
Degrees, certificates & professional body membership
We verify academic qualifications directly with institutions, confirm professional certifications, and check membership of regulatory or professional bodies — ensuring credentials presented are genuine and current.
Professional References
Structured interviews with former managers & colleagues
We conduct structured reference interviews with former managers and senior colleagues — going beyond a simple confirmation of employment to gather nuanced, candid insight into conduct, work ethic, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Reputation & Adverse Media Screening
Public records, media & online conduct review
We screen public records, news archives, and online sources for adverse media, reputational red flags, or conduct concerns that would not appear in a standard CV — protecting your brand and workplace culture.
Directorship & Conflict of Interest Checks
Company directorships & undisclosed interests
For senior, finance, or governance roles, we check for undisclosed directorships, related-party interests, or conflicts that could compromise the integrity of the hire or expose your organisation to liability.
Thorough, Confidential & Professionally Managed
From candidate consent to final report — a structured, end-to-end process that keeps your team informed at every stage.
Candidate Consent
We obtain formal, documented consent from the candidate before initiating any verification or reference activity. This protects your organisation legally and ensures full compliance with data privacy obligations.
Scope Agreement
We agree the exact scope of verification with your hiring team — which checks are required, the depth of enquiry for each, and the expected turnaround timeline. You remain in control throughout.
Verification & Outreach
We contact former employers, academic institutions, professional references, and relevant registries directly — using structured frameworks designed to surface accurate, useful information rather than just confirmations.
Discrepancy Identification
Any inconsistencies between stated and verified information are flagged immediately and documented clearly. We do not wait until the final report — material discrepancies are escalated to your team as soon as identified.
Verification Report
We deliver a comprehensive, confidential verification report covering all checks conducted — with findings, notes on any discrepancies, and a clear summary conclusion for your hiring team to act on with confidence.
