Why conduct background checks?

Background checks are completed for many reasons including compliance with housing, licensing and employment laws and regulations. Additionally, employers and property managers use background checks to make informed placement decisions, retain the most qualified candidates, and mitigate the risk in selecting the wrong candidate.

Workplace violence, fraud, embezzlement, and theft are a multi-billion dollar drain on our economy, a cost which can be mitigated. Additionally, we live in an electronic world where publicity, particularly negative publicity and headlines spread quickly. The first question posed by media in any workplace violence situation is whether there was a background check — the “wrong” answer can devastate the very foundation of a trusted organization.

Organizations owe it to their employees, their customers and the public to complete their due diligence and perform a background check on applicants to mitigate risk in homes and workplaces.

All Background checks require an individual’s consent.

Checks can contain information from a variety of resources and may include:

  • Criminal and civil record checks at county courthouses, state repositories, federal courts and/or international courts

  • Drug testing
  • Verification of employment, education, professional licensure
  • Reference checks
