Octo Platinum functionality further bolstered by new Eurocom CI integration

Blue Octopus has increased the versatility of its award-winning recruitment technology, Octo Platinum, through a new integration with pre-employment screening and vetting services provider Eurocom CI.

The integration provides users with in-depth insights into potential hires, verifying their backgrounds and qualifications, and helping to ensure that the right candidates are hired for all roles.

For businesses to perform well, securing the right talent is essential. However, truly understanding potential hires remains a challenge for many companies. The situation is even more complicated because of increasing CV fraud. Cifas has found that 38% of those aged 16-24, and 30% of those 35-44, have misrepresented information on their CV or know someone who has.

Misleading CVs can lead to:

  • Financial losses from bad hires
  • Disrupted team dynamics
  • Damaged company reputation

Chris Coleman, Director of Blue Octopus, said:

“We’re really pleased to be improving Octo Platinum with this Eurocom CI integration. We want the users of our recruitment technology to be confident that the people that they are hiring are who they say they are and possess the qualifications and right to work that they say they have.

“Given that cases of CV ‘embellishment’ are increasing in a competitive hiring environment, this integration with Eurocom CI gives our clients an extra level of protection when screening candidates.”
