The Importance of Background Checks
In this day and age, all a person has to do is watch TV, read a newspaper or browse the Internet to see how the government and public at large are demanding that companies and employers provide protection against predators, identity theft, embezzlement, sexual predators, white collar crimes and more.
Across all media sources headlines make announcements such as "Kids Sports Coaches and Volunteers Submit to Pre-Employment Screening," or "Youth Leaders to Undergo Extensive Background Checks." Nannies, daycare centers, real estate offices, temporary employment agencies, dating services and clubs, banks and mortgage companies. The list could go on and on, but the bottom line is that anyone in a position of public trust should be screened.
Knowledge is Power
Information Brokers of American (IBOA) was founded on the principle that Knowledge is Power. More importantly, when making judgment calls that will impact your personal and professional future it's imperitive that you have the right information available.
In today's uncertain world, it's even more important to make sound decisions based on information you can trust. Business owners and their management tend to hire people at face value, relying on feelings or gut reactions. Unfortunately, a bright and eager job applicant can easily turn into a nightmare. Using a background or pre-eployment screening, IBOA can help you accurately assess past performance -- the most telling indidcator of future behavior.
Due Diligenice It's the Law
In addition, most small businesses are unaware that government hiring standards require employers to use "due diligence" in the hiring of new employees. Negligent hiring (failure to conduct a background search) can cost a company thousands -- even millions -- of dollars in lawsuits and lost reputation.
Our pre-employment screening process and background reports meet all due diligence standards. We design each custom screening program to fit the special requirements and budgetary concerns of every client. We furnish all the documents and applicant release forms to meet the standards of legal responsibility.
