Protect Your Business With Criminal Record Checks

We are all aware these days of the importance of finding out as much as possible about the people we are going to employ.

There is barely a week goes by without another story hitting the headlines about someone who has effectively conned their way into a job by using bogus qualifications, or by hiding information which would have barred them from getting that job. There is one way employers can avoid finding themselves in this situation, and that is by ordering an employee background check, or going a step further and requesting a standard identity and financial check.

This will establish the candidate's identity and financial status from publicly available information. Of course, you yourself could spend time and money finding this information for yourself, but why tie yourself up for days at a time doing this when PeopleChecking can do it for you? You can also request a criminal record search for your candidate screening, as well as career checks and qualification checks. The search also uses the Credit Application Previous Searches database to investigate any discrepancies in name, addresses, date of birth and marital status between the data the candidate has supplied and other applications they may have made in the previous year.

A recent survey discovered that 50 per cent of UK employers withdrew job offers or dismissed someone in the last year by conducting background checks that revealed employees had been misrepresenting themselves, which underlines just how important NorthgateArinso's PeopleChecking service can be for your organisation, as it will save you time and resources.
