As a business owner, manager, or HR professional, you likely have encountered embellished or misleading resumes. Studies show that 75% of resumes contain inaccuracies, with 89% being misleading in some way.
Despite these concerning statistics, many employers choose to skip background checks and resume verifications. This oversight can result in serious repercussions, including legal liabilities for negligent hiring, tarnished public images, or, in severe cases, workplace violence.
Conducting thorough pre-employment screenings not only demonstrates due diligence but also mitigates the risk of lawsuits for negligent hiring. By filtering out unqualified candidates, employers save valuable time and resources spent on recruitment, hiring, and training. Verifying resumes and educational backgrounds can also prevent wrongful termination claims.
Employment screening companies offer a variety of services tailored to specific industries. For instance, in healthcare, checks may include state criminal records, social security number verification, education and employment verification, professional license checks, and sex offender registry checks.
Companies hiring delivery drivers or truckers often utilize national criminal reports, motor vehicle records, and license verifications. Educational institutions and childcare centers typically require national criminal reports, sex offender checks, and verification of educational and employment history. Finance and accounting personnel should undergo extensive checks, including criminal, social security, credit, education, employment verification, and OFAC terrorist database searches.
When deciding to implement pre-employment screening, choosing the right firm is crucial. Look for a seasoned company with a proven track record for quality and accuracy. Ensure they prioritize confidentiality, employ licensed investigators, offer access to live researchers, and conduct both domestic and international searches, including hands-on U.S. court research.
In today’s litigious environment, skipping background checks and pre-employment screening is too risky. Investing in these processes ensures peace of mind, confirming that new hires are genuine and qualified.
