Personnel checks

Polygraph testing of current employees

Scheduled and unscheduled testing of current employees to identify potential violations, reduce risks, and maintain an appropriate level of discipline within the team.

Scheduled check

Periodic testing to identify hidden risks: working for competitors, theft, fraud, abuse of official position, and other internal security violations.

Unscheduled check

Conducted in cases of internal investigations, before dismissal, or when transferring an employee to another position — when it is necessary to promptly establish the facts and circumstances of an incident.

The polygraph is a modern personnel security tool used in the banking sector, insurance companies, government structures, and private businesses around the world.

About the procedure

What is polygraph testing?

A psychophysiological examination (polygraph testing) is a modern verification procedure used to ensure personnel and corporate security in many countries around the world.

During the examination, a person is asked pre-agreed questions, while the device records the body’s physiological responses. Based on the obtained data, a conclusion is formed regarding the sincerity of the answers.

Testing of current employees can be conducted periodically or when necessary — to identify potential risks such as working for competitors, theft, fraud, or abuse of official position.

The polygraph records key physiological indicators, including breathing, cardiovascular activity, blood pressure, and skin conductivity.

The method is used during recruitment, internal investigations, and to clarify specific circumstances. In the banking, insurance, government, and private sectors, it is used as a tool for assessing personnel risks.

Purpose

Why is it needed?

During recruitment or internal checks, risk factors for the employer are identified by detecting possible violations and clarifying the circumstances surrounding them. In the case of internal investigations, not only employees but also related individuals, including outsourced personnel, may be involved in the process.

Polygraph testing is used for:

identifying hidden facts of disciplinary, administrative, or criminal violations and determining a person’s involvement in them;
preventing workplace violations through awareness of control and the likelihood of detecting misconduct;
obtaining information about potential weaknesses in the internal security system.

Testing can be conducted both routinely and on an unscheduled basis — including before an employee’s dismissal or transfer to another position.

Effect

What are the benefits?

Polygraph testing helps improve the level of personnel and corporate security by identifying potential risks and fostering a more responsible attitude toward work among employees.

Most employers note that regular testing contributes to increased discipline, transparency of processes, and a reduction in the number of violations.

Additionally, it helps improve the efficiency of personnel management, which ultimately has a positive impact on the company’s overall performance.

The procedure is relatively quick and cost-effective, making it a practical tool for businesses.

Questions

What questions are asked?

The list of questions depends on the specifics of the company’s activities and the purpose of the examination. In the financial sector, for example, additional risks related to operational errors, money transfers, or access to funds may also be considered.

In general, the questions cover the following areas:

possible actions in favor of competitors (industrial espionage);
facts of bribery, theft, or fraud;
contacts with criminal organizations;
compliance with labor discipline and the company’s internal rules;
specific aspects of workplace interactions between employees (when relevant security policies are in place).

The final list of questions is always developed individually according to the objectives of the examination.
