Why Screen?
Just ask the
school district that hired a janitor with a history of
convictions for sex-related crimes. The janitor was later
accused of molesting a 10-year old boy. Or ask the credit
union that lost more than $150,000 to the fraudulent schemes
of an employee who had been previously convicted of insurance
fraud. Or ask the Fortune 500 company that had to fire an
executive who had lied about his education and misrepresented
his prior employment.
As regrettable as
these incidents are, the saddest part is that they could have
been prevented. Accurate background checks of these
individuals would have revealed their previous convictions and
fabricated credentials and work experience.
Knowing an employee's
background can be the best indicator of their future
performance. While it is true that people can change -- and
often they do -- it is still your responsibility to gather all
the facts before making a hiring decision. Our thorough and
accurate pre-employment reports can help you avoid those
costly hiring mistakes.
