According to the president Sandra James, that quality is ‘Honesty’. But from a candidate’s perspective, ‘Acting Honestly’ is perhaps not the first thing that comes to mind to impress employers. Nevertheless, it is absolutely essential.

Employers are in a constant hunt for trustworthy candidates who fill out their application form, completely and accurately, even if it means disclosing blemished past.

Recent surveys have revealed that about 40 – 45% of candidates dupe their employers by putting in wrong information in their application form, either to embellish credentials or hide career blemishes.It is imperative for every organization to subject their candidates to pre-employment screening. Choosing to overlook the same, for any reason whatsoever, can make the workplace vulnerable to money embezzlement, theft and even workplace violence.

Background checks consist of a thorough verification of facts. Post screening, if the information comes accurate, the employer can get the candidate on board and no one gets to lose. However, if the information turns out to be inaccurate, the employer can always step back and deny him the position. Thus, pre-employment screening is a win-win scenario for any employer.

There are many online sources that make it possible for employers to pull out an applicant’s information.

However, doing so might put their organization at risk primarily for three reasons 1.Unless the checks are done by a credible background screening firm, there’s no guarantee that

the information so gathered is accurate and up-to-date.

2.Before running background checks on prospective employees, the employers need to have a

thorough understanding of its legal and ethical nuances.

3.Pulling out an applicant’s information on their own can be quite time consuming and

cumbersome for employers.

When it comes to background checks, there’s no such thing as getting away with a blemished past. The truth is going to be revealed anyway when the employer runs a thorough background check on the applicants.

If not anything else, saying the truth upfront might add some points to their credibility. In contrast, withholding important facts takes away their last chances of getting selected for the position.

Every employee has the right to get a copy of background screening report that goes to the employer. This copy can be provided by either the employer or the background screening agency upon request.

The job applicant needs to check mark a box provided in screening form that will allow them to get a copy when screening process is completed.

checks on potential tenants?

As a landlord, it is imperative to run background checks on tenants before handing them keys to your property. If you get unlucky, you might end up with tenants who deliberately fall into arrears. Even worse, having to get such tenants evicted from your rental property can take an emotional toll and leave you financially bruised.

In contrast, running comprehensive checks on tenants prior to renting out property saves you not just time and money but also ensures healthy long-term relationship with them.
