Background Checks
"The best predictor of future performance
... is past performance."
Many
organizations are utilizing background check
services to verify the accuracy of applicants’
resumes including: employment history and
education. Also, many business gain peace of
mind with additional knowledge such as: criminal
history, workers compensation
claims,
and other informative facts.
Certain industries require background
checks on all employees. Examples include the
banking, financial, and security industries,
transportation industries, childcare,
healthcare, and teaching industries, police, law
enforcement, and certain military positions.
Employers who actively screen their applicants
before hiring also face less liability in the
event of a workplace accident or crime.
Pre-employment screening is a primary way of
eliminating or minimizing negligent hiring
liability.
