Why does an employer conduct background checks? Negligent hiring lawsuits are on the rise. If an employee’s actions hurt someone, the employer may be liable. The threat of liability gives employers reason to be cautious in checking an applicant’s past. A bad decision can wreck havoc on a company’s budget and reputation as well as ruin the career of the hiring official. Employers no longer feel secure in relying on their instinct as a basis to hire.
A Background Check gives you the confidence necessary to make hiring decisions. We provide your company the ability to conduct complete background checks online.
