Pre-Employment Screening

Just like a book, a job applicant cannot be judged by their outward appearance alone. The information that an applicant provides must be verified.   After all, how much can an employer really learn about a potential new hire after one or two interviews?

By having your applicant’s professionally screened you will be able to make an informed hiring decision based on thoroughly researched factual data, reference verifications, as well as the results of your own interview(s). Currently, there are many complex laws associated with properly screening your job applicants. The Laws regarding how information is collected and how it is ultimately disseminated are all important factors. When choosing a screening company you must feel confident that they are well versed and trained in those areas.

Unlike many other companies, our background reports are reviewed by state licensed investigators that are able to properly evaluate the data.

An uninformed hiring decision could mean an estimated loss to a company of approximately $30,000.00 - $ 50,000.00 in wasted human resource time, signing bonuses, lengthy training, productivity, loss of morale, and severance pay.
