Offering Your Business a Managed Service for Your Background Screening Needs.

Background screenings offer significant value to small businesses, and here’s why they matter:

Risk Mitigation and Legal Protection:

• Conducting thorough background checks helps small businesses reduce the risk of lawsuits related to negligent hiring or retaining unsafe employees. By demonstrating due diligence in their hiring processes, businesses protect themselves from potential legal challenges.
• Imagine this: You’re a small business owner, and you’ve just hired someone to handle sensitive customer data. Later, you discover that this employee has a history of fraud or theft. A background check could have revealed this risk upfront, potentially saving your business from harm.

Avoiding Costly Hiring Mistakes:

• Small businesses often operate on tight budgets. Hiring the wrong person can be expensive. CareerBuilder research found that nearly 3 in 4 small business employers have made bad hires. These mistakes can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $10,000 per hire. Background checks help you avoid these costly missteps.
• Whether it’s a misrepresentation of education or experience, uncovering such discrepancies early can save you time, money, and headaches down the line.

Enhancing Credibility and Trust:

• When you hire employees, you’re not just building a team; you’re shaping your business’s reputation. Background checks ensure informed hiring decisions, which contribute to your credibility within your industry and among your customers.
• Customers and clients want to know they’re dealing with a trustworthy company. Demonstrating that you take hiring seriously adds to your business’s overall credibility.

Safety and Cultural Fit:

• Background screenings go beyond criminal history checks. They also validate other information provided by candidates. Ensuring accuracy in resumes or applications matters.
• Implementing consistent, proactive checks shows your commitment to safety and cultural fit. It sends a message to both customers and employees that you care about their well-being.

Remember, while some small business owners may hesitate due to perceived complexity or costs, the investment in background checks is well worth it. To make the process easier
