Why Order Criminal Background Checks?

Establishing whether an employee has a criminal record is a crucial step in assessing the risk of bringing that person into your organization. While not every crime would automatically prevent an applicant from being hired, having that knowledge allows you to make an educated decision. You can use the results of a criminal background check to then assess the applicability of the record to the position’s level of responsibility, exposure to assets or customers, and other criteria. Conducting a criminal history search that is tailored to the requirements of the position not only helps to lessen the potential for on-the-job incidents but can also help organizations avoid or defend potential negligent hiring lawsuits.
