Getting all of the answers you need to hire a legitimately qualified candidate can be difficult. Standard job applications only cover basics of position applied for, availability, and previous work and education history.
Resumes are little better, they might be more descriptive as to what an applicant does or did at their previous places of employment, but they can also carry a web of deceit.
The reality is, without running a background check to verify information, who knows how much embellishment is actually on those pieces of paper.
Background checks sometimes are limited to what they can uncover. For example, some employers will only release the dates that an employee worked for their company. They may not give a reason why.
That leaves it up to the applicant to decide to tell the complete truth as to why they no longer are working for that company.
A background check expert will be more versed in uncovering the truth. They can call upon an applicant’s personal and professional references.
Did you know that often time references are not aware that they have been listed on an application? They also may not know exactly what they should and shouldn’t say about someone, and may give more information than they should.
A background check expert also knows how to ask other non-work related questions to get the answers you really need. Want to really know what a reference thinks? Ask them if they would let the applicant house sit or baby sit for them. Their answers might be very telling of what kind of work they will do for you.
