Rochester, Wisconsin - - Runzheimer International has announced the addition of background and drug screening services to its employee mobility offerings through a formal partnership with the Employer Services segment of First Advantage Corporation (NASDAQ: FADV). These services help organizations to eliminate costly mistakes by minimizing the risk exposure relating to the hiring process.
"With increased violence, fraud, and other unlawful activities occurring in the workplace, organizations of all sizes should have an effective pre-employment screening program in place," comments Lee Czarapata, Director of Client Relations, Business Vehicle Services at Runzheimer International. "Just one bad hire can significantly impact an organization's corporate image, employee morale, and the bottom line."
"Industry experts believe that up to 33 percent of all resumes contain serious falsehoods or omissions," adds Bart Valdez, president of First Advantage's Employer Services segment. As a result, human resources executives within all industries are increasingly performing background checks to protect their companies as well as their employees."
The partnership with First Advantage enables Runzheimer to offer a comprehensive range of background screening reports to U.S. businesses, including:
- Social Security Number Trace

- Statewide Criminal History

|
- Social & Criminal Package
