A recent CRI<\/span>\u00a0Group\u2122 survey of business leaders finds that enhanced regulatory compliance, ensuring quality hires and maintaining workplace safety and security were considered the top benefits of conducting background checks. Key considerations for engaging a background screening service include cost, turnaround time and compliance with local and international regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n Statistics show that organisations that don’t perform thorough, comprehensive pre-employment background checks play a risky game with their business security. According to popular employment site careerbuilder.com, “Fifty-eight per cent of hiring managers said they’d caught a lie on a resume; one-third (33 per cent) of these employers have seen an increase in resume embellishments post-recession.” This statistic is equally concerning: an estimated 34 per cent of all job applications contain outright lies about experience, education, and ability to perform essential functions.<\/span><\/p>\n Combine those stats with the knowledge that company insiders often commit fraud and other criminal acts. You’ve got a recipe for disaster among organisations that skip background checks or only do the bare minimum for pre-employment screening. Against this backdrop, CRI<\/span>\u00a0Group\u2122 sought to gauge some of the most important business leaders’ considerations regarding hiring and background checks. Among the key findings:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n CRI<\/span>\u00a0Group\u2122’s\u00a0<\/span>employment background screening services EmploySmart\u2122<\/span><\/a>\u00a0expose vulnerabilities and threats within your organisation and significantly reduce the business’s potential and financial crime, fraud, and malpractice from occurring within your workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n CRI<\/span>\u00a0Group\u2122 provides full in-depth background screening services of employees and candidates at all levels, from senior executives to shop-floor employees.<\/span><\/p>\n The survey results are heartening because they show that business leaders today are thinking about background checks as an important part of their business process. In most cases, they are implementing some sort of screening. However, it is always important to evaluate those processes, ensure the organisation is as comprehensive in those checks as possible, and monitor the results.<\/span><\/p>\n Growing your business and hiring new employees should be something to celebrate when done properly, without risk and uncertainty. There is no reason for taking unnecessary risks with your business, assets, investments, and reputation.
