To protect your company, consider using background screening as an effective tool to keep out the cheats. Background screening can check a wide range of areas including:
- Criminal records
- Employment & education
- Motor vehicle reports
- Professional licensing
And many other areas…
Background screening can be especially important when the employee is in a safety-sensitive position involving children, elderly, money, or expensive equipment. The state & federal laws governing the use of background screening are complex, so be sure to seek legal advice before implementing a program at your company.
