Pre Employment Screening

Employee Background Checks

Why do pre employment screening?

• Reduced turnover and costs. Pre employment background checks help you identify candidates with past work-related offenses or a history of bouncing from one job to another. The cost of turnover?including the loss of time and productivity?is very real to an employer. Turnover costs can be just as significant as overhead costs, in some cases accounting for millions of dollars lost.
• Customer relations. Every business owner knows that a disgruntled or unstable employee can quickly sever the client ties that you've worked hard to build up over the years. Unfortunately, clients don't always contact you before discontinuing your services or terminating the business relationship. When you make a policy of performing employment-employee background checks, you can avoid hiring someone who may damage customer relations.
• Safe working environment. Employment checks are useful not only to you, but also to your other employees. Employees with criminal histories or a record of previous infractions at other jobs could pose a risk to the safety of your workforce or, at the very least, cause irreparable harm to company morale, leading high employee turnover and the associated costs.
• Loss prevention. It will come as no surprise that employee background checks will reveal whether your potential new hire has a history of larceny or embezzlement. When you clear an employee to work with your top assets?whether monetary, technical, intellectual, etc.?you need to know your level of risk.
• Avoid liability lawsuits. These lawsuits are being filed with increasing frequency as injured people search for someone to blame. Regardless of your good intentions, you could face a liability lawsuit if one of your employees harasses other employees or clients or causes other harm. Take precautions with background check services to avoid facing a liability claim.
• Media sensationalism. The media loves to damage a company's reputation as swiftly as possible, and corporate scandals are the perfect fodder. You can fight back and protect your integrity if you insist on pre-employment background checks. While they may not protect you from all attacks, they do show your commitment to the highest corporate ethics.
• It's the law. Most state and federal laws require employment background checks for people who work in healthcare, education, government, and other jobs. Failure to comply with this requirement will put your business in jeopardy.
• It's easier than ever before. An online employment screening service such as QuickBackgroundChecks.com can conduct a background check in as little as minutes at low cost.
