The Society for Human Resource Management estimates that 53% of all job
applications contain false information. Based on a survey of 2.6 million
job applicants, 44% lied about work experience, 23% fabricated credentials
or licenses, and 41% lied about their education. According to the FBI,
a half million people in the US falsely claim to have a college degree.
Many individuals will try to hide a clouded past, and employers may not
give references or comment on a former employee.
Negligent hiring is the real threat of liability to employers
today. To avoid a costly mistake - know who you are hiring by performing
an inexpensive background search before hiring.
We can assist you in updating or designing an effective candidate screening
program. Best of all, we offer competitive prices and excellent service!
