Why Prescreen

Why should your company conduct background checks?

The success of your company depends on your workforce. It pays to find the right people the first time. Conducting background checks is one of the most important steps in the hiring process. Pre-employment screening is an effective risk management tool that has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of a bad hire.

By conducting a thorough background check on all applicants, you can prevent expensive hiring mistakes and negligent hiring practices. Take a moment to imagine the amount of money, time and effort your company invests on a new hire. Now imagine all those investments made on a person who ultimately does not meet the criteria you need.

Employers typically engage in pre-employment screening for the following reasons:

1. To discourage applicants with something to hide. Just having a pre-screening program discourages job applicants with a criminal background or falsified credentials.
2. To eliminate uncertainty in the hiring process. Many employess have discovered, the hard way, that relying on instinct alone is not enough. Definitive information is an important part of the hiring process.
3. VeriCheck helps protect your company from possible legal liability.
4. Save time and money by hiring and training only candidates with verified background information.

Performing background screenings is certainly not a guarantee that every bad applicant will be discovered, but it does eliminate the majority of them.
