Eliminate the Risk of a Costly
Law Suite
Fact: the most costly lawsuits
are caused by negligent hiring
practices
Our Background Screening Services
will virtually eliminate the
possibility of hiring someone that
is not who they represent themselves
to be. The most common disastrous
law suits involve negligent hiring
practices. Not only are they very
expensive (even if you win) but they
can sometimes result in both a
personal and business liability.
Every day people with criminal
records, falsified educational
credentials, and other serious
liabilities are hired by companies
who fail to thoroughly check their
backgrounds. The result can be acts
leading to expensive negligent
hiring lawsuits.
Knowing the backgrounds of
the people you hire is absolutely
essential because a business can be
held liable for accidents and crimes
committed by its employees.
Employee Background
Checks minimize
these problems. You can verify the
accuracy and/or completeness of
information provided by job
applicants — before hiring and
training — and thus reduce the costs
incurred by high turnover. You will
also reduce your risk of liability

Did you know that the
basic criminal background check only involves a superficial run
through the Social Security Number Trace that covers county level
felony and misdemeanor charges?
This may not seem like a big deal, but consider this:
More than 2 million workplace assaults occur each year, most of
which could be prevented with an in-depth background search.
Employers lose 79 percent of all negligent hiring suits, based on
their failure to follow through with a complete criminal background
check.
The average award to a plaintiff in negligent hiring lawsuits last
year was 1.6 million dollars: that’s a big price to pay because you
opted for a cheaper background check!
The basic background check involves statewide searches that are
outdated and inaccurate, especially since only 33 states offer good
access to a state level criminal records search.
A standard criminal background check will not uncover issues such as
a poor or dangerous driving record, economic problems like multiple
bankruptcy filings, and will do nothing to uncover false
credentials.
Up to 40 percent of resumes contain false or exaggerated
information, putting you at greater risk for negligent hiring
liability.
