Here are a few good reasons why business owners should include background checks in their hiring processes. 1: On the job violence costs employers $36 billion each year. 2: Up to 65% of resumes contain false or “tweaked” information. 3: $20 to $40 BILLION is lost in employee theft each year. 4: Half of all new hires don’t work out. If these reasons aren’t compelling enough, please consider that background checks can help to limit or eliminate a company’s liability for an employee’s actions. Just being able to prove that you thoroughly screened an employee prior to hiring him/her could protect your company from having to pay out large sums of money in a lawsuit. Conducting thorough background checks is one sure way of helping to protect the reputation of your business.
