The standard pre-employment screening will include but not be limited to social security verification, criminal history check, employment verification and an educational verification. You may already be familiar with pre-employment screening since most major employers conduct pre-employment screening checks for job candidates. Accurate Credit Bureau helps employers pre-screen their prospective employees.
Resume fraud is on the rise, and can seriously damage your company’s future if not protected against. Resume fraud usually involves applicants lying on their resume in areas such as dates of employment, past accomplishments and skills, and enhancing job titles and responsibilities.
It usually occurs because the applicant doesn’t think that the prospective employer will bother to complete an adequate background screen. Make sure you aren’t fooled by getting started with pre-employment screening checks.
Background checks are often requested by employers on job candidates for employment screening, especially on candidates seeking a position that requires high security or a position of trust, such as in a school, hospital, financial institution, airport, and government. Accurate Credit Bureau has several pre-employment screening packages available for employers. Results of a background check typically include past employment verification, credit history, and criminal history.
These checks are often used by employers as a means of judging a job candidate’s past mistakes, character, and fitness, and to identify potential hiring risks for safety and security reasons. Background checks are also used to thoroughly investigate potential government employees in order to be given a security clearance.
Checks are frequently conducted to confirm information found on an employment application or résumé/curriculum vitae. One study showed that half of all reference checks done on prospective employees differed between what the job applicant provided and what the source reported.They may also be conducted as a way to further differentiate potential employees and pick the one the employer feels is best suited for the position. Employers have an obligation to make sure their work environment is safe for all employees and helps prevent other employment problems in the workplace.
In the United States, the Brady Bill requires criminal checks for those wishing to purchase handguns from licensed firearms dealers. Restricted firearms (like machine guns), suppressors, explosives or large quantities of precursor chemicals, and concealed weapons permits also require criminal checks.
Checks are also required for those working in positions with special security concerns, such as trucking, ports of entry, and airports (including airline transportation). Other laws exist to prevent those who do not pass a criminal check from working in careers involving the elderly, disabled, or children.
