Employee Background Screening


When it comes to employee background screening,
a single instance of neglecting to conduct pre-employment background screening and
subsequently hiring the wrong employee can cost
up to 200% of a year’s salary.   Employee background screening has evolved from a
sensible practice to an absolute must for businesses.  Consider the following:

  • 40% of all employee resumes are missing information or contain false statements, according to Forbes
  • 1/3 of employees in the U.S. have stolen on the job, according to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners
  • 30% of all business failures result from poor employee hiring decisions, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce

These figures are sobering.  And although employee background screening may add to your budget, the losses you could incur by failing to conduct employee background screening may be devastating. By performing comprehensive, pre-employment background screening, you will:

  • Eliminate costly employee hiring mistakes
  • Recruit and retain quality employees
  • Protect your employees and your company’s hard-earned assets
    and reputation
