The consequences of a bad hiring decision

Pre employment screening is a necessary part of the hiring process that cannot be overlooked because the consequences of one bad hire can be disastrous.  In most businesses employee costs are the first or second line item in your annual budget.  Employee costs can include anything from pay, benefits, training and much more so making good hiring decisions and conducting background checks is critical to protecting your investment.

Unfortunately most companies today spend more time and effort trying to decide on the best copy machine or competing wireless devices than they do in selecting qualified applicants or conducting background checks.  Background check experts believe that the fallout from a single bad hire can rise to more than twice the employee’s annual salary.

The long-term impact of failing to conduct employee background checks is numerous; lost customers and business, litigation, lost brand recognition or credibility, damaged employee morale, theft or destruction of property, workplace violence and so much more.  The possibilities are endless!

Most businesses do not have the time or resources to conduct pre employment screening in house so they hire background check experts that can save time and reduce liability.  Don’t let your workplace become victimized by a bad hire because you failed to employ a background check company to perform criminal background checks on your prospective new hires… or even your existing employees!
