Why Screen Prospective Employees?

Regardless of the size of your business, pre-employment screening is a necessary practice to avoid lawsuits and costly hiring mistakes. Because of security and litigation concerns, corporate scandals, and workplace violence, pre-employment screening has become a crucial element in the hiring process. In fact, recent studies show that there are roughly 2 million acts of violence in the workforce each year.

Making the right hiring decisions for your company is critical to business success. Poor hiring decisions can lower your team’s morale, hinder productivity, and even impact customer relations. In addition, the cost of replacing an experienced employee who is not the right fit can be over 50% of that individual’s salary – higher if the employee has specialized skills.

A comprehensive background check can not only save money, but it can also protect your business. Investigating the background of a potential hire minimizes the risk of negligent hiring lawsuits. You and your company can be held liable for the actions of a new employee, especially if you did not show your due diligence by performing a background check, or if you did not perform an adequate background check. With settlements from negligent hiring lawsuits costing companies close to one million dollars on average, most employers are finding the small cost of conducting background checks money well spent.
