Dear Friends,
I was never serious about Background Checking and trust me i faced the brunt of it and burnt my fingers. This part of hiring normally takes the back seat.
Well said by Donn Lobdell, Senior Director, Alcon Surgical, Inc - "When you're hiring, you're creating the future of your company."
I would like to throw some light on how important is background checking
Background Checking : Many jobs from entry-level to senior management require a high level of trust and security. In those cases it's wise to let us conduct an in-depth survey of your candidate's background. Background checking is for at least five (5) reasons: To verify facts. It's amazing how many candidates hide the truth; to avoid claims of "negligent hiring." If you hire a dangerous person, your company could be liable for any damages that person causes at work; to avoid charges of "wrongful discharge." It's becoming increasingly difficult to terminate problem employees, even potentially violent ones; to safeguard trade secrets, databases, and other valuable technological resources employees can easily destroy; and to ferret out exaggerated credentials. It's amazing how many applicants claim false degrees or certifications. When appropriate, our experienced investigators access a wide range of sources and records including: driving records, civil and criminal records, consumer credit reports, worker's compensation records, education verification, and social security number verification. Any more to share their experiences in this case ?
