While screening procedures are often costly and time consuming, most companies would agree that the benefits of checking candidates’ backgrounds far outweigh the costs.

Employers Beware! 
A large number of applicants make false claims. As human resource professionals, we have seen fake resumes, fake references, fake degrees you name it! Criminal record checks, prior employment verifications, education verifications, license verifications and other research tools are invaluable to help uncover falsifications. These employment background check tools help employers develop a more accurate and complete picture of an applicant and can reveal potential discipline problems.

As of January 31, 2012, most private sector employers are required to post a notice advising employees of their rights under the National Labor Relations Act.
