NAPBS encorouges background screening in recession

NAPBS (National Association of Professional Background Screeners) has reinforced their belief that background screening should remain an integral aspect of the employment process, despite the economic downturn and high rates of unemployment. Founded in 2003, NAPBS claims to represent “the interest of companies offering tenant, employment and background screening“. It is an important part of the background checking industry and strives to promote ethical business practices and privacy rights for employer and employee. The issue of the recession was discussed back in 2009 by NAPBS and, with the economy still suffering, ought to be re-emphasized. The main reasons for this being that conviction rates among job applicants is on the rise, as well as the “fluffing” of resumes due to desperation for work. While it is hard not to understand in an ethical context the reason behind writing false resumes or providing false information through desperation, business owners must be practical and sensible when it comes to their own organization. The correct background checks must be processed to ensure your own safety and assurance in what is a difficult time for all companies. Whether you are an employer, an employee or a job-seeker, it is essential to understand the reasoning behind pre-employment background checks, particularly during the economic downturn.
