LET’S TALK<\/a><\/p>\n

Why Conduct Pre-employment Background Checks?<\/h2>\n

To protect the company from various potential risks, a background check is considered an imperative pre-employment screening step before hiring. Companies often assume that the applicants are telling the truth on their resumes – what if they are not?<\/p>\n

These checks are essentially an investigation into a person\u2019s character – inside and outside their professional lives. Some checks you probably already carry out in-house, such as the candidate\u2019s qualifications (documents provided), work history (with a reference check), right to work in the country and even a quick social media presence scan.<\/p>\n

A Pre Employment Background Check: Who conducts it?<\/h2>\n

Permanent, temporary, benefit-eligible, non-benefit eligible, full-time and part-time staff require an acceptable background check.<\/p>\n

Former employees, including retirees, are also subject to a background check if a contract breach occurs.<\/p>\n

You could have an in-house HR team or contract with a third party vendor like CRI Group\u2122.<\/p>\n

Why Should I Contract a Third Party Vendor if I have an In-House Team?<\/h2>\n
