Background Checks:
Business Owners please read!
If you're an employer you know how
important it is to run a background investigation on potential employees.
All
business should, depending on the job description, check for criminal records,
including sexual offenses, driving records, bankruptcies, liens and judgments,
and past employment history and education before hiring someone.
Could
your business, for example, afford to lose 20,30,40K (or more) to an embezzling
employee?
Could you afford to wait for your money if they don’t have it anymore?
As a business owner you need to hire the best employees you can.
Background checks and pre-employment
screening can save you THOUSANDS!
A pre-employment background check should
verify the accuracy and completeness of information that
applicants provide on their application, and during their
interview sessions. It may identify evidence of previous
problems of a select nature. Patterns of past behavior are often
a reasonable predictor of future behavior. The background check
may also provide evidence of positive traits to assure that the
best candidate for the job is identified and hired. It is
essential that you identify applicants who are not employable,
or those who may be employable, but under conditions of closer
supervision.

Would you like to know...
-
Bookkeeper
and office staff
- That they embezzled at their last job but
worked out a “deal” that if they paid it back they would receive
a good reference?
- That they were convicted of theft?
- That they were financially strapped
and bankruptcy was looming?
-
Delivery
Driver
- That the new driver
you hired really
has a valid license?
- Would it be nice to know that his/her
driving record?
- That they work another job all night and may
be fatigued driving for you?
- That they are collecting workers
compensation from the last job they were hurt at?
-
Production
Worker, Salesperson and Custodial Staff
- That the reason they left their last job was
employee theft?
- That they were problem employees and their
previous boss gave them a good recommendation just to get rid of
them?
- That they have physical problems that they
didn’t tell you about?
There’s more but you get the point.
ALL
businesses need information to make good decisions. The information that
you get might not necessarily keep you from hiring someone but wouldn’t
it be nice to at least be aware of the tendency so you can keep the
problem from ever developing?
Credit Risk
Assessment
All
businesses extend credit to stocking customers. Before extending credit
do you really check references, or check to see if they’re worthy of
your trust?
Can you afford to:
-
Extend high credit to someone that doesn’t pay his or her bills or
that you have to chase for payment?
-
Provide products to a business that needs to sell your stock before
they pay you?
-
Extend credit to a business on the brink of bankruptcy that is
selling all its assets to pay creditors (maybe even selling your
credit-extended goods before you get paid)?
What we do:
We provide different “Levels” of
pre-employment investigations depending on the businesses “risk”
factors. The business selects the level (extensiveness) of the
investigation and depending on your requirements, a background check may
include any or all of the following:
* Criminal history
* Driving history
* Previous employment verification
* Credit history
* Personal references check
* Address verification |
* Education verification
* Worker’s compensation report
* Professional license verification
* Resume verification
* Interviews with neighbors, family, and friends
* Any “special” check that the job “risk” dictates
