There are inherent risks in the hiring process, including deception by individuals seeking to gain an advantage over other candidates. Thorough pre- and post-employment background checks are critical in mitigating these risk factors, helping any organisation stay better protected from fraudulent candidates or unqualified employees.<\/p>\n
The advantages of using an expert third-party service to conduct background checks<\/a> are many. Comprehensive background checks are best performed by industry experts who understand where to find and confirm employee information, from criminal, education and employment history records checks to verification of credentials, training, certifications and other important info claimed by the employee or candidate. An international firm can access resources in geographic regions not serviced or accessible by typical \u201cout-of-the-box\u201d screening services.<\/p>\n Taking this approach puts protection in the hands of agents who are specially trained to use every resource available to provide timely and thorough pre- and post-employment background checks, adding a level of due diligence that allows you to focus on your core business needs.\u00a0This is why any pre-employment background checks should dig deep enough (within all local laws and regulations) to assess every detail of a job candidate\u2019s claims and credentials, to confirm that the claims match with the facts. An expert team should examine all of the following details of a potential employee:<\/p>\n What gets uncovered serve both as cautionary tales and success stories. One client in the medical industry was hiring for a critical management-level position. After finding what appeared to be an exemplary candidate, they engaged thorough pre-employment<\/p>\n The candidate claimed to be a holder of a university degree, which, upon verification, turned out to be \u2018fake and forged.\u2019 The applicant also provided a reference letter, which turned out to be fake as well. In short, there was nothing legitimate about the candidate\u2019s educational background. This person would have been a risk on all levels, including patient safety. The client dodged a very real bullet by applying proper background checks, and not hiring someone who was unqualified and untrustworthy.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t take unnecessary risks with your business, assets, investments and reputation. Whenever you are hiring a new employee, conduct a thorough pre-employment background check<\/a>, best implemented and administered by a third party. After all, a team that specialises in background checks will have a full bank of resources and experienced personal to do the job properly. Hiring new employees should be an occasion marked by excitement, not risk and uncertainty.<\/p>\n Let’s Talk!<\/strong><\/p>\n If you have any further questions or interest in implementing compliance solutions, please contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n CRI Group has safeguarded businesses from any risks, providing investigations<\/a> (i.e. insurance fraud<\/a>), employee background screening<\/a>, investigative due diligence<\/a>, business intelligence<\/a>,\u00a0 third-party risk management<\/a>, forensic accounting, compliance and other professional investigative research services.
