Hire with confidence
across all of Africa
Stodacom Africa gives HR teams the pre-employment screening intelligence to make safe, compliant, and informed hiring decisions — in any of the 54 African countries you operate in.
Hiring across Africa is high stakes. We reduce the risk.
Fake certificates, undisclosed criminal records, and falsified employment histories are more common across African job markets than any HR team wants to discover after the fact. Without ground-level verification, your organisation is exposed.
Stodacom Africa physically verifies what others only look up — giving you a screening report that stands up to scrutiny, every time.
See all screening servicesCertificate Fraud
Forged degrees and professional qualifications are widespread across several African education systems.
Undisclosed Convictions
Criminal records are not centralised in most African countries — a simple database check will miss them.
Employment Gaps
Candidates routinely omit roles, dismissals, or disciplinary records from their CVs.
Identity Mismatch
Identity document fraud and name variations across African systems create verification gaps.
Every check your hiring process needs
Our StodacomCheck® Integrity Due Diligence reports can include any combination of the following — tailored to the role, seniority, and country of hire.
Criminal Record Check
Physical searches at national and local courts across all 54 African countries — capturing records that no electronic database holds.
Employment Verification
Direct contact with previous employers to confirm job titles, dates, responsibilities, and reasons for leaving.
Education & Qualification
Verification of degrees, diplomas, and professional certifications directly with issuing institutions across Africa.
Credit & Financial Check
Assessment of financial history, insolvency records, and credit behaviour — critical for roles involving financial responsibility.
Identity Verification
Confirmation of national ID, passport, and other identity documents against issuing authority records.
Professional Licence Check
Validation of licences and professional registrations with regulatory bodies — medical, legal, engineering, and more.
Directorship & Litigation
Searches for company directorships, court judgements, and civil litigation history in relevant jurisdictions.
Sanctions & Watchlist
Screening against global and African sanctions lists, PEP registers, and adverse media — for senior and sensitive roles.
