Employee Background Checks

Why Perform Pre-Employment Screening?

Human Resources, Security and Labor Law experts unanimously agree: Firms that protect themselves through pre-employment screening save money and substantially reduce legal and financial risks in the workplace.

For less than the cost of a new employee’s salary for one day, an employer can exercise due diligence, discourage applicants with something to hide, encourage honesty and limit uncertainty in the hiring process. Pre-Employment Screening can reduce or avoid:

• Negligent Hiring Lawsuits – Pre-Employment Screening demonstrates due diligence
• Workplace Violence – History of criminal acts is a major factor
• Unqualified Applicants – Up to 30% of applications contain material falsehoods
• Time Wasted Recruiting, Training and Hiring the Wrong Applicants
• Wrongful Termination Lawsuits – Yes, even if they lied in the hiring process!
• Theft, Financial Loss, Sexual Harassment and other Workforce Problems
