The Importance of Employee Background Checks

April 13, 2021

We have noticed that over time information changes.  Here is some updated information for your business to conduct professional background checks.

Why Professionally Administered Background Checks are Important Right Now:

• Courthouses have limited access due to the pandemic, so gaining access to records on your own can be challenging.
• Turnaround times are often stalled for the same reason.
• We have a direct line to our partners, who are in regular contact.
• Reaching references can be cumbersome.
• Constantly changing pre-employment screening laws can lead to mistakes.
• Class action lawsuits for FCRA violations are on the rise.
• You want to hire the best candidates to help grow your business (not destroy it) during these especially trying times.

 

What We are Checking For:

• Criminal records
• Drug use (click here to learn more about pre-employment drug testing)
• Sex offenders
• Driver’s license history
• Credit report changes
• Employment, education, and reference verification

 

Who We Are Checking:

• Potential employees/job applicants
• Employees
• Volunteers
• Vendors
• Subcontractors
• Gig workers

 

The good news is that you don’t have to go it alone. Our customer-oriented background researchers offer personal attention and quick response times. Working together, we come up with a program that fits your needs based on outcomes that matter to you. And, we can do so based on nearly any business size or the number of employees (remote or in-office) at a budget that works for your business. Essentially, we’re an extension of your Human Resources department, adhering to all of the proper guidelines (federal, state FCRA, EEOC).

Why not schedule a consultation with us at no charge? After all, you still have a business to run and employees, vendors, and other visitors who need to be protected. Taking that first step could ensure everyone at your facility is Per Mar protected!
