How It Works
A verification process built around evidence.
A good verification process is not simply a database search. It is a structured sequence of questions, checks and reviews.
Step 01
Request
Email, call or WhatsApp us to describe the role, the location of the household and how quickly you need the verification completed.
Step 02
Initial contact
We respond to understand the situation, answer your questions and confirm what is practical within the timeframe you have.
Step 03
Needs assessment
We discuss the level of household access involved and recommend the verification level that matches the role, rather than selling the largest package.
Step 04
Candidate consent
The candidate is taken through a clear consent process explaining the categories of information that will be checked and why.
Step 05
Information collection
We collect the identification, address details, employment history and referee contacts needed for the agreed scope of work.
Step 06
Verification
Checks may cover identity, address, references, previous employment and publicly available information, depending on the package selected.
Step 07
Field checks where applicable
For Standard and Executive engagements, verification extends to the stated address and the community connected to it, conducted discreetly.
Step 08
Internal quality review
Findings are reviewed before anything is sent to you. We separate what was verified from what could not be independently confirmed.
Step 09
Report delivery
You receive a structured report. Where the package includes it, we talk you through the findings directly.
Step 10
Follow-up
If a finding needs clarification, or you would like a further check or a re-verification later, we pick it up from there.
We do not publish operational details that could compromise an ongoing verification.
The Report
You don't receive a pile of raw information.
You receive a structured picture.
Verification is only useful if the findings can be understood.
Our reports are designed to distinguish between verified information, information that could not be independently confirmed, inconsistencies requiring attention and significant adverse findings where supported by the available evidence.

Adverse Findings
If something significant is found, we tell you plainly.
Verification is not about producing a positive result at all costs.
If a significant adverse finding is identified and supported by the available evidence, it should be communicated clearly, neutrally and without exaggeration.
Sahel Verify does not decide whether you should hire someone. Our role is to make sure you have the clearest available picture before making your own decision.

Consent
Verification starts with consent.
No verification should begin without the candidate's informed consent.
Candidates should be told what categories of information will be checked and why. Depending on the package, this may include identity, address, employment history, references, public information and other specifically disclosed checks.
Sahel Verify is committed to conducting verification responsibly and in accordance with applicable Nigerian data-protection requirements.
Candidate Respect
Verification without treating people like suspects.
A background check is about information, not humiliation.
Candidates are people. Verification should be conducted with consent, dignity, confidentiality and respect.
Our reports focus on verifiable information relevant to the engagement. We do not include commentary on ethnicity, religion, tribe or similar personal characteristics.
Verification Disclaimer
This report reflects findings from due diligence performed as of the date issued. Sahel Verify does not guarantee the future conduct of any individual. Verification can reduce uncertainty, but it cannot eliminate risk. The hiring decision remains entirely with the client.
