Finding the right person for the right job can be a daunting task for any employer. Pre employment screening will help you identify the right candidate so you do not waste precious time and resources on a new hire that’s going to do more damage than good.
Background check experts believe keeping an unqualified person out of the workplace is extremely important to protect assets. States have their own pre employment screening laws that employers must follow. In addition, overarching Federal regulations exist that govern a background check company.
A company I once worked for conducted a pre employment screening for all new hire associates as part of our shortage mitigation program. We outsourced our employee background checks to a background check company to reduce our liability. During the hiring process we asked each prospective employee to complete a consent form authorizing the background checks.
Criminal background checks were conducted on all candidates that have access to cash or restricted areas. The background checks were returned by the background check experts in a timely fashion and we were armed with the information we needed to make an informed hiring decision.
I was surprised to learn how many of our prospective new hires were convicted of shoplifting. A significant number of prospective new hires even had a felony conviction that would have gone unchecked if we had not conducted a background check.
Without the information you need to make an informed decision your business is vulnerable from infiltration by career criminals and thieves. Criminal background checks helped us keep criminals out of the workplace and are without a doubt the first line of defense to protect assets and profits.
