WHY PERFORM PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING?

By utilizing professional preemployment screening, employees of all sizes across all industries can minimize or even avoid the financial and legal nightmares that come from hiring a person with an unsuitable criminal record, falsified credentials, or some other issue that make then him/her dangerous, unqualified, or unfit for his/her position. Lawsuits for negligent hiring are among the fastest growing areas of litigation in the US and, as a result, employers who fail to demonstrate due diligence can be hit hard by juries. Nationally, the cost of human capital, including salaries, benefits, and hiring, is usually the largest single line-item in the budget of any firm and is responsible for a third of business costs. Given that employees are both the biggest single investment any employer can make and the biggest source of risk, doesn't it make sense to know who you are hiring? 

The use of pre-employment screening background checks, can help employers avoid:

• Negligent Hiring Lawsuits - Pre-Employment screening demonstrates due diligence
• Workplace Violence - History of criminal acts is a major factor in predicting workplace violence
• Unqualified Applicants - Up to 30% of applications contain material falsehoods
• Time Wasted Recruiting, Training, and Hiring the Wrong Applicants
• Wrongful Termination Lawsuits - Yes, even if they lied in the hiring process!
• Theft, Financial Loss, Sexual Harassment, and other Workforce Problems
