2. Employment background screening has become one of the essential procedures for employee recruitment. • Today, almost all types of organizations conduct employment screening before selecting an employee. • The reason is quite simple: companies cannot put their reputation and goodwill at stake by hiring a criminal or unprofessional employee.

From helping a company to achieve its ultimate goals to maintaining the organizational reputation, a professional employee can do it all for your company. • But the question is how can you conduct employment background screening? • And most importantly, what benefits does this test offer to the organization? Let's have a look:

5. 1.    Hire the Best Employees • Needless to say, the first and foremost benefit of employment background screening is high-quality and improved employee recruitment process. • We all know what role the employees play in the company's success. • It is, therefore, important for every organization to run a background check on every employee before giving them the vacant position.

7. You never know whether or not the information you see on the applicant's resume is appropriate. • Some employer simply believes what's written on the CV and resumes of their applicants. • However, there is no guarantee that the applicant’s details are 100% appropriate. • That’s said, it is the responsibility of the human resource department to conduct a background screening and ensure that the information of the employee is accurate.

9. 2.    Avoid Negligent Hiring Risks • According to a survey, 29% of companies reported that employment background screening helps them avoid negligent hiring risks. • Let’s say; you hired an employee on the basis of their professional portfolio without conducting a background test. • Later on, this employee gets into a fight with a co-worker or supervisor.

10. 3.    Improved Office Safety • Now, the victim says that the employee had caused such trouble before and it wouldn’t happen if the employee recruitment department had run a background screening. • If the victim’s accusation proves accurate, the employer will end up paying a hefty charge to settle the “negligent hiring suit”.

12. The last thing you want in your office is a serious fight that turns into accidents, theft, and property damage. • Fortunately, you don’t have to see your property getting damaged or one of your employees harming their co-workers and the office staff. • All you got to do is start an employment background screening procedure and start checking the background of each employee before letting them in your company.

13. This won’t only help you ascertain the real potential of the employee but keep your workplace and other employees safe from accidents and harm. • So why wait? Run a background screening and start hiring employees according to their actual potential and past records.
