employment background checks

www.crimefinder.com just checks criminal records..

I found this cool website to check my criminal records www.crimefinder.com I don’t want to pay all these unnecessary fees for a criminal background check. I only do them occasionally so I don’t want to pay any monthly fees or signup fees.  They say they do not charge any of these fees they only charge for the reports themselves. I only run maybe 5 a month these additional fees just run up the cost per report for a employment background check.  They also seem to be a little cheaper than a lot of the other sites for there criminal background check.

Background checks on existing employees

Our business used to only run employment background checks on existing employees until one day a light bulb went off and we thought what about the employees who are already working here we know nothing about them so we decided we needed to do a employee verification on new as well as existing employees if we didn’t we really could not say who had criminal records and who didn’t.  We have not let any existing employees go with criminal records but I would say we watch them a little closer.  For more information on this subject you can just go to reference.com.

Employment screening in a competitive job market

Employee background screening is becoming the norm in hiring a new employee. Employment background checks should be run on all potential new hires it could be considered discrimination if you pick and choose who you run a employment background check on. According to the law they must be run on all potential new hires for all positions. It is always a good idea to get a copy of a picture id to make sure the dates and names that you are checking are correct. This is not foolproof but it does help a lot. For additional employment background screening questions I usually go to www.about.com

Screening for employment purposes

Employment background checks are routinely done for hiring of new employees. Most employers will run a criminal background check and credit reports. What you don’t know WILL hurt you. If a employee will be handling money you will want to run a criminal background check to see if they have ever been convicted of theft or embezzlement. If they will be driving a company car you will be required to do a driving record on this individual to make sure his driving record is clear. I always get a signed release at time of application it is also a good idea to routinely run a updated criminal check yearly for any new offenses. I go thru a company called quickbackgroundchecks.com for my background checks they have been in business since 1982 and have always done a good and absolutely saved me thousands of dollars in potential problems. See ya

Employment screening credit report

There are many companies out there that do a credit report for employees however in order to be in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act all credit reports on employee must be pulled for that purpose. These reports by federal law have no credit scores on them and also provide all governmental agencies to contact if there is a dispute with the report. There are only a few companies that actually pull these reports and comply with the FCRA. www.quickbackgroundchecks.com is one of those companies. I have used this company for many years to run employment backgroundchecks. They come back in seconds and are very easy to read. If find this a very helpful tool in hiring new employees it has saved me thousands of dollars in questionable employees.
