Why You Need to Pay for Background Checks

Monday, July 5th, 2010

Getting something for free is always exciting, isn’t it? But if you’re relying only on free background checks, you’re playing a game of roulette.

Professional, comprehensive background checks that you invest in are worlds apart from those you can find freely online. Though you might be able to uncover some information about potential employees if you surf the Internet for quite some time, you’re not going discover everything you need to know.

Some of the major advantages to paying for background checks include:

You won’t have to spend copious amounts of time hunting for incriminating info on the Internet. (Trust us — you could spend hours and hours and still not have a solid report. Isn’t your time worth the price of a background check you can trust?)
You will have a guarantee from a long-time, trusted background checking company like VerifyProtect. And that means a heck of a lot.
You can customize the information that you need. This gives you freedom, whereas if you do some online searches, you’ll get what you get… and it might not be what you want or require.
You don’t have to worry that you’ve missed something because it’ll all be available in front of you.

Again, we’re all for saving money wherever possible. But background checking isn’t a place to pinch pennies.

Referrals - A Great Job Candidate Source, but Don’t Forget to Screen Them!

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Every employer knows that one of the best ways to come up with really wonderful job candidates is to get them by referral. Whether referred by a current worker, a former worker (who is still on good terms with the company), a vendor, a client or a volunteer, those types of potential employees can be pure gold. However, that doesn’t give employers “wiggle room” when it comes to background screening.

Even if you decide to hire the grown son of a terrific employee, it’s necessary to screen him just as you would a candidate who essentially “walked in off the street”. Sure, you might think you’re saving money by simply concluding that the son is going to be as likable and dependable as his father (and you might even be right), but that’s a gamble you can’t take.

Recent studies have suggested that up to 10% of all potential employees have some mark on their records, and some of those “marks” are in the criminal realm. Who’s to say that your referred employee isn’t among them?

Never take chances. Background screen every employee… even if that person is your mother.
