The candidate is, at the time of application, charged with a penal or criminal offence in relation to a position similar to that offered by the company.
In this form, the candidate attests to the truthfulness of the information provided and authorizes the company to carry out any and all verifications it deems relevant and necessary concerning his or her criminal record with various police forces in the country, all in accordance with the company's needs.
In this form, the candidate acknowledges that if any of the information contained therein proves to be false or misleading, or if he or she has failed to declare one or more of his or her criminal records, this could result in rejection of his or her application by the company.
