A polygraph allows you to determine already at the hiring stage:
— whether the job candidate has any issues related to alcohol or drug abuse;
— whether the candidate has any health-related problems;
— whether they have ever stolen goods, material assets, or money at a previous workplace;
— whether they have any connections within criminal circles;
— whether they are applying to your company on behalf of competitors or criminal organizations, etc.
Moreover, the benefit of using a polygraph lies not only in saving time and money otherwise spent verifying various details about a prospective employee, but also in the fact that the polygraph is the only reliable source of such information. Companies or banks that pay close attention to personnel selection significantly reduce their level of risk and potential losses associated with employee negligence or psychological unsuitability.
