Introduction:
Hiring somebody can be an expensive task that can put both the employer and the workplace at risk. To minimize the risks involved with interviewing prospective candidates, some companies are adding pre-employment screening in their interview process. The question is, how does one screen for those looking to do harm? One way employers perform background checks is by sending anyone they might hire for the position a pre-employment screening questionnaire.
Conclusion:
In order to prevent any and all dangers that can arise during background checks, employers need to follow certain rules and procedures. The first step is to thoroughly research the local laws surrounding check out. Background checks are not something that should be done on a whim; there needs to be an adequate reason. Thirdly, because these laws vary from state-to-state, it's important that you do your research into applicable local laws before hand in order to find out what rights you have in each state when it comes to background checks. Lastly, make sure that any and all criminal records checks that you perform are performed by a licensed service. Finally, if you're going to say something along the lines of "we don't discriminate based on race, gender or sexual orientation," it's important that you actually make sure that there isn't any kind of discrimination in your company.
All of these steps can make or break how effective a background check is. Therefore, it's important to know how much information your background investigation will include in order to narrow down your potential candidates.

Introduction:
When running a background check, it's important that the information acquired protects the employer in some way. For example, if someone has been convicted of fraud, it's important to know who their associates and friends were that helped them do this. Because of this, some jobs require background checks to keep an eye out for any employees with a criminal past.
For security and other jobs in this category, background checks typically involve checking out many things such as criminal records and paid taxes on time. In order to conduct these checks efficiently, employers often hire private investigators or background screening companies.

In this post, we're going to talk about various reasons why employers perform background checks and the steps they take to obtain information on potential employees. We'll also discuss a few of these companies, who have made their way into the business as a result of attacks like 'Operation Unmask.'

Introduction:
Most employers require all potential employees to screen their own backgrounds as part of their pre-employment background check process. Despite this, many workers have had their identities stolen over the years and are being denied employment because of it. According to research conducted by Experian, between 2009 and 2012 7 million people experienced identity theft, with 8 out of 10 victims not even realizing that it had happened due to others' actions.
Conclusion:
To prevent this from happening in the future, Experian and other companies have begun working with employers to provide them with a way to verify their employees' identities without having to go through a background check. This has led to the formation of PIVOT, or Publicly Available Verification of an Individual's Tax Account. With PIVOT, employers will be able to confirm that an applicant is who they say they are by verifying tax returns information sent directly from the IRS.

Private Investigation, or PI, is a service that many employers use by utilizing private investigators to conduct background checks on potential employees. This service can be used in order to check out criminal records and other information that may be the subject of future lawsuits against your company.

They can also take your information and run it through their own databases in order to come up with a list of candidates that they think would best fit your company. With PIVOT, there are two ways employed individuals can access the system and start applying for jobs.

There are a number of different ways that private investigators can be used in order to look up your employees' names and obtain their information. From checks on past employers to credit cards and tax returns, PI's have become a vital part of modern day background checks.
