Hiring the wrong employee could cause you big problems...

(1) Lawsuits from customers or other third parties for “Negligent Hiring”

(2) Lawsuits from employees you may have to terminate

(3) Employee theft, embezzlement or property damage

(4) Workplace violence

(5) Sexual harassment suits

(6) Time wasted on recruiting, hiring and training

(7) Lost business and profit

One unfortunate fact of modern life is that many job applicants are falsifying their resumes or leaving out pertinent information. The Wall Street Journal reported that 34% of all application forms contain outright lies about experience, education and the ability to perform essential functions on the job.

With a program of pre-screening, a business can reduce its risk of hiring employees who are hiding criminal records or bearing false credentials. In fact many businesses have found out that just having a pre-screening program in place eliminates applicants with something to hide!

Protecting your company and employees from possible violence in the workplace is always a top priority. The courts have ruled that it is the employer’s duty to exercise “reasonable care” in hiring an applicant and to pursue a “reasonable effort” to properly check an applicant’s background. Employers who do not follow the rules for proper background checks can be held financially liable for the actions of that employee. Many large judgments are paid every year by employers that failed to exercise “due diligence” in hiring.

** Hiring someone to drive a company vehicle? You’d better check out his/her driving habits - and driving record!

** Hiring someone to handle your company’s money? You’d better see if he/she has a criminal history!

** Hiring someone to work in your daycare center? You’d better be sure he’s/she’s not a known pedophile!

** Sending someone to work in a customer’s home? You’d better be sure that he/she does not have a criminal record of theft nor is he/she a known sex offender!

The list of warnings goes on, but by now you should get the picture. Small businesses need to pre-screen as much as large businesses. Let 4BackgroundChecks help you set up a Pre-Screening Program for your business, large or small. We’ll start by giving you a FREE, attorney-approved "Pre-Employment Screening Package” which includes:

4BackgroundChecks.com works on-line with several large databases. That means that your candidate screening is done with computer speed and accuracy! Some reports can be in your hands in a single day.

(1) Order a General Demographic Report to verify the Social Security Number to make sure the applicant is who he/she claims to be. This check helps confirm identity and uncover fraud.

(2) Conduct a single jurisdiction (usually a county) Criminal Record Search and a search of state Department of Correction records, where available. We’ll also check the Federal Court System records. These all protect you from negligent hiring exposure and help reduce the possibility of workplace violence, theft and disruption.

(3) Search the applicant’s Driving History. In addition to seeing if he/she is fit to drive a company vehicle, this search gives insight into an applicant’s level of responsibility. Is he apt to rebel against rules and people in authority? Does he keep his commitments to appear in court or pay fines? Does he have a drug or alcohol problem? This check also helps to verify identity.

*In some states or areas the cost of the criminal history exceeds our base price. In such a case, the per screen price will be increased by the additional amount charged us. Cost is $   without Driving History.
