We occasionally talk to people who might say that they do not do Background Checks because they believe in second chances. So Do We! This is one of many reasons we encourage pre-employment screening.
The truth is that many candidates with a blemished record may still be a great fit for your company.
From the candidates point of view, the reality of a pending background check encourages an applicant to be forthcoming, honest and transparent, a great start to any healthy relationship.
For the employer, it allows you to make an informed decision armed with facts, limiting uncertainty and reducing the need to go strictly off first impressions and intuition.
In addition, if an employer makes a bad hire that results in a lawsuit, the employer now has the benefit of due diligence on their side that can act as a powerful legal protection. All for a nominal fee.
As an employer, it’s always beneficial to come from a place of facts. Armed with this knowledge you can do what is in the best interest of the company and people that you hire.
