BACKGROUND CHECKS: WHAT WORKS AND WHAT’S GUARANTEED TO INCREASE YOUR LIABILITY,
CREATE HIGHER COSTS AND SIGNIFICANTLY LENGTHEN YOUR APPROVAL TIMES
Three Easy Ways To Evaluate Your Background
Check Company
-
Find a company that takes compliance seriously. The background screening industry is subject to regulatory compliance thru various federal and state acts including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Drivers Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) and many others. Put your trust only in a company, such as TruDiligence, that employs proven research techniques. Never rely on companies that
only use a “nationwide” database. They typically are not FCRA compliant and may contain information that is outdated
by as much as five years.
-
Use a vendor that allows
“tiered” processing. Avoid being sold a “package” of products, as you may be
paying for services that are not needed.
-
Find a vendor that can provide
automated systems, electronic ordering and after-hours customer support.
DO YOU REALLY WANT THE LOWEST BIDDING
BACKGROUND CHECK COMPANY PROVIDING
EMPLOYEES FOR YOUR MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY?
Most employers indicate that providing
a safe workplace and avoiding hiring liability are the primary reasons for
running background checks. Unfortunately, many of these same people also state
they selected their current background check vendor based solely on price
and turn-around time. Simply put, these two thoughts do not always support one
another. Do you agree that even $1.00 is too much to pay for a background check
that may do nothing to limit your liability?
