The advantages of using a pre-employment background screen firm
One of the main advantages in using a pre-employment background screen firm is to get a full picture of the candidate before an employer makes a job offer. The full picture will be based on factual, unbiased information. This type of information can help hiring personnel make a solid decision on who is the best candidate for the position.
Companies will sometimes rely on their human resources staff to conduct background screenings. This may work against a company a couple of ways. The recruiter may like the candidate and be willing to let some inconsistencies pass by. These inconsistencies could end being serious problems down the road. On the other hand is the issue of claims of hiring discrimination. A job applicant may claim that he or she was discriminated by the recruiter or hiring manager due to their gender, race or any other protected right. It is best all the way around to have a third party, such as an employment-screening firm, conduct the background screening.
The consequences of hiring blindly
When an employer hires employees without screening them, he or she is relying solely on the information the job applicant has provided. The reality is that some candidates will embellish or cover things in their background just to get a job. In fact, it is estimated that 47% of candidates fudge their resume′ in form or another. By getting a professional pre-employment screening you are helping reduce the chances of your company having problems associated with:
- Employee theft, fraud or embezzlement
- Identity theft
- Hiring discrimination lawsuits
- Workplace violence
Additionally, candidates who have issues in their past may pass up applying at a company that conducts employee background searches. They will just move on to the company that does not perform professional pre-employment background screenings. It’s also important to remember that many insurance companies will not cover losses that resulted from an employee’s criminal activity at work. The company may get stuck footing the bill!
