Why Screen
Hiring the right people is often the single biggest hurdle facing business owners, and can put a company at its greatest risk, especially if a new hire is a wrong hire.
An organization’s success or failure is often attributed to the quality and character of its employees. According to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, 30% of all small business failure is caused by employee theft. To enhance security and safety in the workforce or to uncover untruthful resumes and falsified employment applications, pre-employment screenings have become the norm among businesses. Most employers do not have the time or resources to perform “due diligence” by completing accurate and thorough background checks. Therefore, they need to hire an experienced background-screening firm.
Certainty Enhances Security
Business owners and managers are more concerned than ever about the security of their employees, business assets, and personal safety. Consider the facts: The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that nearly 2 million violent crimes occur in the workplace each year.
Certainty Reduces Liability
As businesses face increasing liability from both civil and criminal prosecution, insurance premiums, and damaging negative publicity, the concern over liability is justified.
The costs, in terms of money and reputation, are enough to cripple medium and large businesses, and can put small business owners out of business. The average award in a workplace violence lawsuit exceeds $1 million per case, according to the Workplace Violence Research Institute.
Certainty Improves Stability
High turnover rates, transient workers, and resume fraud are just a few of the factors that have made it much more difficult for business owners and human resource professionals to feel certain that they are hiring the right people for their companies. Particularly in uncertain economic times, organizations seek to maintain stability in order to keep costs down and increase worker productivity.
The Wall Street Journal reports that on average, at least half of all new hires “don’t work out”. It also reports that 34% of all applications contain outright lies about experience, education, and/or the ability to perform essential job functions.
