Would Background Checking Applicants Benefit Online Dating Services?

If you’ve ever been set up on a really bad blind date, you know how valuable it would have been to had that date “screened”, at least informally.  But how about formally?

There’s a move afoot to encourage online dating services to background check their applicants in order to better serve the customers looking for friendship, love or companionship. 

Would background checks actually help?  We definitely think so — check out these top three advantages to online dating sites’ comprehensively screening clients:

→ There would be a smaller, but stronger, pool of candidates from which to choose.

→ The online dating company could ask for a premium price.

→ The clients of online dating sites would feel more comfortable with this kind of “cyber dating” knowing that part of the worry has been erased.

This isn’t to say that background checking would be a cure-all for every concern a dater has.  But it could produce huge advantages for both the clients and the company. 

We’ll keep you posted if/when we learn of an online dating service that’s switched over to background checks!

    • Both Employees AND Employers Benefit from Background Screening

    There are some people who erroneously believe that background screening is somehow a “pain” or “irritation” for employees.  But that truly isn’t the case, especially when it comes to the best workers. 

    Below are five reasons that good potential hirees love background checks as much as employers do:

    1.  If an applicant has kept a great record, he or she will have nothing to hide.  And that means that there will be no surprises or secrets.

    2.  An applicant will know that the pool of possible candidates may shrink thanks to background screening measures.

    3.  A job candidate will know that the employer is serious about keeping the workplace safe and secure.

    4.  A potential employee will feel that the company is investing in his or her future with the organization; after all, background screening does involve an investment of money and time.

    5.  A great candidate will always love to have someone check him or her out because a clean record definitely reiterates how devoted he or she is to being a straight-up, honest worker.
