Why Do Background Checks?
Those
two words have been devastating to many businesses
— and they could cost you millions of dollars.
Negligent hiring is the failure to check the
backgrounds of job applicants before you hire
them.
When
a pizza deliveryman raped a customer, a jury
awarded the victim $6 million of the parent
company's money.
The
firm had failed to do a background check which
might have disclosed the man's previous sex-offense
record.
A
trucking company was ordered to compensate
a family when several family members were
injured in an accident caused by one of its
drivers. The amount awarded was many times
what it would have been had the company checked
the driver's record before hiring him.
Every
day people with criminal records, falsified
educational credentials, and other serious
liabilities are hired by companies who fail
to thoroughly check their backgrounds. The
result can be acts leading to expensive negligent
hiring lawsuits.
Knowing
the backgrounds of the people you hire is
absolutely essential because a business can
be held liable for accidents and crimes committed
by its employees.
To
protect your company and minimize risk, get
reliable background information about everyone
you consider for employment.

Background Check
minimizes these problems with its services.
You can verify the accuracy and/or completeness
of information provided by job applicants
— before hiring and training -- and thus reduce
the costs incurred by high turnover and reduce
your risk of liability.
