Three signs your business needs a pre-employment screening company
April 5, 2013
Pre-employment screening tests include cognitive tests, personality tests, skills tests, and background checks (such as credit checks, drug screening, education verification and reference checks). With such a high percentage of employers performing background screening on job candidates, those that aren’t are putting themselves at a significant disadvantage. If that’s you, consider the following signs as sure indications that you might need a pre-employment screening company on board.
1. Your hire people who are put in positions of trust
Employees with access to money, financial records or secure databases can cause enormous problems if they don’t turn out to be trustworthy individuals. It’s not just the direct consequences of any negative employee actions but also the long term ripples that may come with potential lawsuits, loss of workforce and – ultimate – the effect this might have on profits.2. You’ve suffered due to poor hiring decisions in the past
We all make mistakes, and most employers will, at some point, make a hire that they regret. Learn from it, and do the ground work prior to a hiring decision to make sure you’re making the best possible choice.3. It’s time to reduce employee turnover
Employment screening can go a long way toward helping reduce employee turnover. The process has been shown to reduce employee terminations due to theft, violence, and illicit drug use. If you find employees coming in and leaving on too regular a basis, hire a pre-employment screening company to help you make the right decision the first time. The number of companies outsourcing pre-employment screening has increased dramatically over the past decade or so as many businesses realize that expertise in this field is required to do it right.
