How do you know the candidate you just offered a role to is the ideal candidate? Are you 100% sure you know everything they’re telling you is the full truth? Or is it 90% of truth? They showed you a diploma; how do you know it’s not photoshopped? Did you follow the correct laws during your background check process by self or through background check companies? Employee background check and employment history check is vital to avoid horror stories and taboo tales within HR, your business, or your brand. Simply investing in sufficient employment screening services can save you time, money and heartbreak.
CRI™ Pre Employment Checks are essentially an investigation into a person’s character – inside and outside their professional lives. Some checks you probably already carry out in-house, such as candidate’s qualifications (documents provided), work history (with a reference check), right to work in the country and even a quick social media presence scan.
