TOP 5 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD BE YOUR PRE-EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND CHECK COMPANY

TOP 5 REASONS WHY WE SHOULD BE YOUR PRE-EMPLOYMENT BACKGROUND CHECK COMPANY

  1. Third-Party background checks are costly. Background checks access vast databases in thousands of different locations. Large screening companies charge top dollar to perform their searches, but we train you and allow you to access our Web-based search interface directly, saving you time and money. And we are always available for any assistance you may need, should the occasion arise.

      2. Résumé fraud drains your resources. Over half of applicants put false information on their résumés. Discovering this early allows you to terminate the application process before you incur additional expenses and wasted time.

     3. Employee theft endangers your company. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce estimates that employee theft costs American companies nearly $40 billion per year. Because an employee has greater access to your resources, they are 15 times more likely than a non-employee to steal from you. This loss lessens your competitive edge; it also threatens to put you in the one-third of all business failures that happen due to employee theft.

   4. The hidden costs of bad hires can drag your company down. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the cost of a bad hiring decision can exceed 30% of the employee’s potential earnings during their first year. For management candidates, the figure is much higher. If you fail to carefully screen applicants, you may end up with employees who:

    • Are unqualified to perform their work.
    • Exhibit work habits out of line with your company’s standards.
    • Possess attitudes and personalities that create conflict with coworkers and lower morale in the workplace.
    • Have inappropriate expectations which eventually lead to low productivity and great dissatisfaction.
    • Can cost your company thousands in onboarding and training.

5. Liability issues can threaten you with huge settlement costs. Employers can be sued and held liable if they “fail to use reasonable care in the employment selection process.” If it is determined that you should have known about potential risks an employee posed, you can be held legally liable for their actions and the consequences—to other employees, to customers, to stockholders and to the general public.
