Is an Instant Background Check Possible?
Summary:
With over 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. and citizen information dispersed across 3,142 counties, achieving a true instant background check is currently not feasible.
Article:
The challenge of conducting an instant background check stems from the fact that the U.S. lacks a centralized database encompassing citizen information across its 3,142 counties. Despite this, many companies offer so-called instant background checks at low or no cost, appealing to employers eager for quick solutions due to their time constraints and increasing demand for screenings.
Currently, without a unified database, thorough background checks involve substantial time, follow-ups, and coordination. The recent rise in companies offering such services can be attributed to the growing needs of HR departments. However, there are no established standards for the breadth or interpretation of the data collected, affecting the reliability of these instant checks.
Employers may believe they're saving money with instant checks, but the true cost of recruiting and training a new employee far exceeds that of a comprehensive check. Thorough background checks, covering criminal records, education, driving history, and drug tests, are crucial. If an unqualified hire must be replaced, expenses related to rehiring, retraining, productivity loss, healthcare, and potential legal issues can be significant.
Instant background checks might work on a small scale, such as within a county or state, offering services like social security and employment credit checks. However, databases would need real-time updates to ensure accuracy.
For instant checks to become widespread, technological advancements are necessary. This would involve establishing registration centers nationwide, storing detailed individual records?"such as name, birth details, social security number, photograph, fingerprints, and driving records?"linked to a central, accessible database. This would not only aid employers but also promote transparency and help the government combat crime and fraud.
In conclusion, while the dream of instant background checks remains distant, innovations in data management could bring it closer to reality, benefiting businesses and society alike.
