SAFE HIRING - PRE EMPLOYMENT SCREENING

An old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Due diligence failure in hiring just one bad employee can have disastrous results.

An employee needs many tools to protect their workplace from hiring a person with certain types of a criminal record. The candidate could be guilty of providing false credentials. The candidate could wish to harm this country. Since 911 these requirements have been expanded. In order for you to prove "due diligence" in your hiring program it is essential that job applicants consent to a "safe hiring program" or SHP:

  1. Set a legal foundation for a safe hiring program.
  2. Realize the six figure litigation costs in not complying to a SHP.
  3. Anticipate the damage that will be incurred in theft and loss of productivity.
  4. Consider the economic fall-out from a bad hire.
    7% of applicants have a criminal record in the last few years.
    51% provide inaccurate or false information in their resumes.
    30% of all business failures are created by theft and dishonesty.
    9% have filed worker's compensation claims.
    44% had a driving record of violations and convictions.
    24% had judgement lien bankruptcy or collections pursued by a collection agency.
This information was taken from ADPs 6th annual hiring index.A "Safe hiring" program consists of:
  1. The entire company organization are informed of and abide by a Safe hiring program.
  2. Provide an in-depth screening formula for all "phases of the hiring" process.
  3. Even after the applicant has been hired include an ongoing commitment to provide a safe workplace.
  4. A company must become very aware of the regulatory and legal aspects with continuous efforts to be informed of the legal issues involved with safe hiring.
Certain professions and companies are more vulnerable to hiring mistakes. We specialize in training management in "safe hiring" procedures. Our background checks are complete and cover all the aspects of due diligence. Since 911 and the legal issues that must be considered, hiring has reached a new level of management involvement even for those companies not involved in homeland security. If you send us your hiring program and the results you have obtained, we will examine and evaluate your program. At no cost to you. Be sure and block out all names and any words that can identify the applicant. All information is held in strict confidence, and for my personal examination only.
