Mistakes in hiring can be disruptive and costly - even dangerous in some situations. Numerous studies by both government and civilian agencies indicate that more than fifty percent of all resumes contain false or exaggerated information. Aside from the obvious reduction of internal theft more and more companies are implementing mandatory background investigations of all employees to reduce their exposure to negligent hiring and retention lawsuits. Pre-employment investigations can help you reduce your exposure.

Performing checks on applicants is one of the most effective tools available to assist you in making the correct hiring decisions. The mere fact that the applicant knows that an independent contractor will check any information on his application, tends to produce a more accurate representation of the applicant's true skills. |
Most claims for sexual harassment, theft, workplace violence, or substance abuse are resolved internally and never become public records. Without an extensive background investigation, most, if not all of these unreported violations would go undetected. With the emergence of new case law in many states, your hiring decisions, and even your referrals after an employee leaves, could expose your company to expensive litigation.
