Negligent Hiring.
A real threat of liability
employers now face under current legal doctrine is "negligent
hiring". If an employee causes damage to a third
party, your company could be found liable for failing
to heed the warning signs. An example would be hiring
someone inappropriate for the job, such as a bus driver
with a long history of negligent driving.
Wrongful
Discharge.
An increasing
number of lawsuits are being filed by employees who
feel they have been wrongfully discharged by their companies.
Are you hiring someone who has initiated one of these
lawsuits more than once? Studies show that claimants
win two thirds of the cases that go to trial. Careful
pre-employment screening will reduce the risk of many
problems like this down the road.
Company
Theft.
As technology
advances, employees have greater access to data banks
and crucial company files. You can protect your company,
your employees, and your customers by being proactive.
A thorough background check can determine high risk
employment candidates before a problem occurs.

Leverage
in Hiring.
When interviewing
a candidate, you generally will not know if they
are exaggerating or falsifying credentials. Having input
from several sources, including a background investigation,
gives you important leverage in a hiring situation by
knowing fundamental facts in the candidate's background.
This allows you to hire the person best suited for the
job and your company. It's important that you know who
you are hiring before you hire them. Back

Economical
Cost for a Background Check.
Our background
checks can cost as little as $10.00 per individual,
and often do. Utilizing background checks in all your
hiring decisions is a surprisingly affordable and effective
method of preventing greater costs down the road.
