Pre-Employment Background Investigation

Unfortunately, bad hires do occur from time to time. To avoid serious harm, it’s best if you quickly realize your mistake and the other person leaves. In the worst case scenario, they may fail to perform their duties, lower workplace morale or cause other serious issues for your company. Regardless of the outcome, you’ll have to resolve a difficult situation and go through all the effort of rehiring for the position again.

Employers heavily rely on criminal and background checks to collect information on potential workers from sources other than just the applicants themselves. Investigating an applicant’s background involves looking for criminal convictions, traffic violations, poor credit histories, and misrepresentations about education and work experience. Checking references is usually done by getting in touch with a candidate’s former employers and co-workers, as well as teachers, in order to verify previous employment and gather information about the candidate’s knowledge, skills abilities, and morals.
