Selection Solutions

What Selection Solutions does

Selection Solutions, operating under the legal name Servicios de Poligrafía Colombia SAS, is a Colombian polygraph testing and personnel verification services firm headquartered in Bogotá. Founded in 2007 and operating with 14 in-house employees, the company provides a suite of HR and security-related services built around polygraph testing as the core offering, including pre-employment polygraph examinations, routine employee trust-control tests, and specific investigative polygraph tests. The underlying technology is scientific polygraph instrumentation that monitors and records involuntary physiological responses (heart rate, breathing, blood pressure, skin conductivity) to detect deception, supplemented by human-conducted services such as domiciliary visits, psychotechnical testing, financial studies, specialized data history checks, international SARLAFT list verification, reference checks, background checks, personnel selection, and executive/VIP logistics.

The company serves corporate HR and security departments in Colombia as its primary customer segment, addressing risks of hiring dishonest candidates, fraud, internal theft, and information leakage. The go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise sales combined with inside sales via phone, WhatsApp, and commercial email, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. Service delivery is enabled by a network of certified technicians (psychologists, polygraphists, lawyers, consultants, security experts) supplemented by freelance domiciliary visitors across 20+ Colombian cities, allowing nationwide coverage without proportional fixed-cost expansion. The company holds no disclosed funding, no institutional investors, no subsidiaries, and no disclosed M&A activity, and operates as a privately held, founder/owner-operated entity.
