currency of the membership and any disciplinary records on file.

fundamental to all roles.
To ensure your candidate is who they say they are we will verify their identity using a variety of
means from verification of the candidate’s recognised identity card and/or passport or collection
and cross referencing of nominated identity documents. Our machine learning capability enables
