Background Checks
We conduct full background checks on individuals and corporations.
Employers have to find a delicate balance between the desire to search as much information as possible on an individual on one side, and time and budget considerations on the other, with the ultimate goal of having the best historical data available to make an educated hiring or retention decision.
Background Checks
The scope of a background check can differ greatly depending on a number of factors such as purpose, budget, required timeframe, and what type of entity is performing the check.
Even in circumstances like employment screening, organizations must choose from a seemingly infinite number of combinations of types of searches that can be performed on a job applicant or current worker.
Given these complexities, employers may be wondering how they can make good decisions about the types of background searches they should be conducting on their applicants or workers. Moreover, they may be seeking guidance as to whether there is an established best practice they should be following to better ensure they are receiving the most “bang for the buck” in their employment background checks.
To address these questions, it may be helpful to examine what many consider to be the foundational elements of an employment screen—public records searches. Additionally, employers could benefit by better understanding the often-confusing nature of these searches and how they fit into the overall context of an employment background check.
