All of Orna International’s background and due diligence checks are carried out by, or under the close supervision of, our Australian office. If it is necessary to sub-contract any part of the process, we only use agents known to us for several years and who are completely trustworthy. We monitor any sub-contracted work very carefully.

Orna International’s Australian staff are all specially selected and trained for this work. We screen our own employees very closely and impose a strict Code of Conduct on them. Every case has a Case Manager assigned to it and, they may be contacted at any time during our extended business hours.

In many cases, educational establishments or other information providers, charge a fee for their services. Orna International never value adds on secondary providers’ fees. What we pay, is what you pay.

Criminal Record:

Orna International can provide rapid results for a criminal conviction enquiry, by accessing a variety of databases to which we have authorised access.

A Police Clearance Certificate can be obtained. This attracts an additional cost and may take up to 3 weeks.

Previous Employments:

Orna International has a database compiled over many years, of common employers in New Zealand. Our contacts and multi-lingual staff enable us to provide you with prompt reference checks. We train our staff to take an investigative approach to reference checking and do not just tick boxes. Orna International looks for the information behind an employee reference check. We have frequently discovered facts important to a prospective employer, which other providers would not think to ask for.

Education/Qualifications:

Orna International has built up a large database of contacts with educational establishments and can obtain accurate, reliable confirmation of qualifications and attendance as far back as High School if required.

Previous and Current Address:

Orna International has online access to New Zealand Electoral Rolls and other residential data, which enables us to confirm residence and addresses, where others cannot.

Driving Record:

Orna International is able to confirm that a subject holds a valid driving licence and obtain details of any traffic infringements.

Civil Record/Bankruptcy:

Orna International has access to comprehensive records of bankruptcies, civil court findings and defaults on debt.

Corporate Data:

Orna International will confirm the officers and shareholders of all Australian registered companies, whether still trading or not. Large companies are required to file comprehensive annual returns, which we can obtain. A vast amount of information is obtainable from corporate records. All such information is from lawfully accessible records.

Professional Memberships:

Orna International has extensive contacts within all of the main professional bodies in New Zealand. We will provide accurate and reliable information about a candidate’s professional standing.

Disciplinary Record:

Many of the candidates for Orna International are employed in a regulated position, such as within the financial service industry. We will discover any disciplinary record the candidate may have with any New Zealand regulator. For non-regulated applicants we will speak to line managers and former colleagues, so you know the character of the person you are hiring, not just their qualifications.

National Regulatory Bodies:

Many trades and professions in New Zealand are regulated by the Government. Orna International can obtain information from their records.

Identity Checks:

Orna International can verify the validity of a New Zealand passport, or discover whether a non-citizen has a visa and if so whether it entitles them to work in New Zealand.

We are able to check Auckland, Wellington, Dunedin, Christchurch and all other areas.
