Background checks are essentially risk mitigation, however with the right company and the right tools, background checking during the hiring process can also be asset protection. Why? In a recent survey it was discovered that, on average, 53% of candidates will lie on their resume during the hiring process. What’s more, 70% of current university students would take similar action if it secured them a job position. These falsities can range in seriousness, such as incorrect previous employment dates and salary earnings to fraudulent claims on education, experience,and criminal history. Armed with these statistics, background checking has become an industry-wide standard.
Verifying a candidate’s actual work experience and reviewing their criminal history protects you against negligent hires. Simply put, a seemingly qualified candidate might have a history of violence or drug abuse. If you are not diligent in your background screening, and this hire becomes violent at your workplace or has a work accident while under the influence of drugs, you will face legal accountability. While it seems like an easy process, conducting background screening as part of the hiring process is complicated, as it is subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This ensures that any information you receive is legally acquired. In order to ensure legal compliance in conducing background checks, companies worldwide rely on CNet to implement background screening programs to produce accurate and timely results.
