Free Background Check – Why It Is Worth Doing

November 29, 2018 by Theo Leave a Comment

If you are recruiting new staff for your business then it is very important that you carry out a background check on the possible candidates. Not only is this something which can greatly help your company and its reputation, a free background check can give you all kinds of supporting information which can help you in the recruitment process. All companies must carry out these checks on their people and if you have any hesitation at all in terms of doing these checks, here are just a few reasons why it is absolutely worthwhile.

The Cost

There are many services that offer you a free background check and it will not even cost you very much time to put it all together. given the abundance of information that you can find out about a persons history when you carry out a background check, it is really a no-brainer in terms of whether you should do it or not, especially when you save money on the process.

The Dangers

There are many dangers which a company must avoid when hiring its staff, dangers which can be easily avoided through a solid background check. Let’s say for example that you hire someone who has a criminal history of being violent, and that they have not declared this on their application form. Let’s also say that you then hire this person without a background check and they go on to attack someone in the workplace, when news comes out about their past, your company reputation can be highly damaged because you failed to perform a solid background check on the person.

Helping Find The Right People

Regardless of what business you are in you will of course wish to find the very best people for the job and a background check can greatly help with that. Let’s say for instance you are hiring for a job which entails driving, wouldn’t you want to know that this person is the best candidate for the job based on their driving history? In this example you can use the background check to find out the status of their license, any driving offenses which they have made, how many accidents that they have been involved in and whether or not they have any convictions for driving.

Background checks can also help you to find out the integrity of a person, imagine that they have lied about their education on their application form and you find out the truth via a background check. In this instance the lack of education may not be important but the very fact that they decided to lie most certainly is.

Whatever position you are trying to fill you must ensure that the people that you are bringing in to the company are those who are honest and who have a history that won’t come back to bite the company. A free background check therefore is the most sensible thing to do for every potential employee that you are considering.
