Background Checks

U.S. Employers have lost more than 79% of negligent hiring cases with settlements averaging $1.6 million.

-2001 report by Public Personnel Management

“Employers accrue increased scrutiny when they hire workers with marginal backgrounds that include criminal behavior, drug, or alcohol abuse; such employers create a potential risk of harm to others. If an employer fails to thoroughly screen a job applicant, the employer could be held liable for any damage or acts, particularly for violent acts, that person may cause. In order for employers to minimize their potential liability, it is more important than ever for employers to know exactly whom they are hiring.”

- Greengard, Samuel (December, 1995). "Are You Well Armed to Screen Applicants?" Personnel Journal

People looking for work can be very clever self-promoters. They may inflate their resume, minimize, or may not disclose negative incidents. Having an accurate snapshot of a potential employee is essential in today’s litigious society.

To mitigate the risk to you and your employees, you must institute some sound hiring practices. Executive Solutions provides scalable solutions to background checks. An executive level position, one with access to all of the company’s confidential and proprietary information may need to be scrutinized more then say the receptionist. However, each employee or person with access to your facility should have some type of check done. Too often, companies conduct background checks on just critical personnel and neglect to check out the cleaning team that has unfettered access to the facility at night.

Sit down with one of our specialists to discuss your specific needs so that we can provide you with the solution that is custom tailored to your company.

In addition to pre-employment screening, annual or biannual checks should be done to uncover any emerging problems before they affect the workplace. Let us help protect what you have worked so hard to create.
