Background Screening
When it comes to background screening, a single instance of neglecting to conduct pre-employment background screening and subsequently hiring the
wrong person can cost up to 200% of a year’s salary. Background screening has evolved from a sensible practice to an absolute must for businesses. Consider the following:
- 40% of all 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 hiring decisions, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce
These figures are sobering. And although background screening may add to your budget, the losses you could incur by failing to conduct background screening may be devastating. By performing comprehensive, pre-employment background screening, you will:
- Eliminate costly hiring mistakes
- Recruit and retain quality employees
- Protect your employees and your company’s hard-earned assets and reputation
