The Importance Of Trust
Every job you can think of requires a certain degree of trust.
Obviously the level of trustworthiness required of the employee will vary dramatically with the amount of responsibility they have. For example, it’s obvious that a bank manager would have to be trusted a lot more than you would trust a window cleaner. This is not to say that one position is more important than another, it’s just an indication of the importance of the role within society.
A bank manager is responsible for huge sums of money where as a window cleaner is responsible for cleaning windows. If the bank manager doesn’t do his job and leaves the bank vault open then a lot of people would lose a lot of money. If the window cleaner doesn’t do their job properly then the worst that happens is that some windows don’t get cleaned, this only affects the owners of the house.
For this reason, when companies look for new employees, the time and effort spent on screening them varies significantly. If a bank were looking at hiring a new bank manager, they would be very likely to carry out financial health checks, background checks, CV checks and even employment checks such as those available from PeopleChecking.
These checks will prove whether the candidate is trustworthy enough to be in this position of responsibility. At the other end of the spectrum, someone looking to employ a new window cleaner would not go to as much effort as the responsibilities of this worker would be far less than a bank manager.
