- Your company can be legally liable for negligent hiring if you fail to thoroughly check a job applicant’s background.
- On an average, over 42% of all applicants misrepresent information on their resumes.
- Over 35% of potential employees have either a criminal history, bad driving record, bad credit history, fake social security number, or a worker's compensation claim.
Liability alone is reason enough to have a professional Pre-Employment Screening Company handle all of your needs. However, when you consider the time and expense of recruiting, hiring and training any employee, it is just not worth the risk.
