Give Them The Liability- Employee Background Checks

When you conduct employee background checks, your business can be held liable for the information that you find. In particular, if a potential candidate is declined employment based off of those findings.

If this candidate feels like they were wrongfully declined, they have the option to contest the check, and bring potential litigation against your business if the employee background checks were proven to contain misinformation.

When you hire a background check company, you push this liability back to them. They are now responsible for providing you accurate and timely pre employment screening. If for some reason there is determined to be erroneous information, the liability is with the background check company and not with you.

As a responsible business, obviously you would want to work with both your potential candidate and the background check company to fully resolve the issue. The common goal would then be to correct the errors and move forward before the situation gets to a point where litigation would be necessary.

When you contract with a reputable and experience background check company, this concern should be part of their standard operating procedures. They need to stand behind their work and the pre employment screenings that they generate for you. If for some reason, they will not back their work, or push the liability back to you, you need to go elsewhere.  That should be an enormous red flag that they may not be in the business of providing accurate reports.
