Employee Screening & Background Employment Checks in Weston, FL; Vetting Process & More

Screening checks are a prompt check to ensure candidates qualify for an employment position with no obvious disqualifying factors. With a completed employment application and resume, most of the employee screening process is a fast assessment to choose the top applicants or weed out any non-qualified applicants for a specific job. Screening checks validate the position requirements such as education, knowledge, abilities and skills. Following a checklist, most screening evaluations effectively reduce the number of applicants to a manageable interview list. Screening is typically an internal process conducted by human resource employees.

Background Employment Checks

Background employment checks are in depth and thorough. They are completed with the goal of definite hiring potential. Background checks confirm the fitness of the candidate for hiring. Included are credit checks to assess fiscal responsibility, past employer sanctions, mistakes and general character. Criminal and civil litigation histories are contained. The job candidate is evaluated to identify any potential hiring risks, safety concerns and possible security flaws.

Vetting Process for Employment

Many companies contract with municipal, county, state and/or federal government agencies. Many of these companies must vet their employees as to any security risks. Companies with a lot of intellectual property investments or proprietary products need to evaluate employees considering corporate espionage and intellectual property theft. Disgruntled or terminated employees are often responsible for selling this critical information to competitors. If the company in question is a defense contractor or other sensitive sector contractor, foreign government espionage is of critical analysis.

What Does a Soft & Hard Credit Check Show?

Background checks can involve hard or soft inquiries. Soft inquiries are usually summaries and involve little or no personal information. Soft inquiries are used for general evaluation of employment risk. Hard inquiries involve complete reports of credit, criminal and civil process involvement.

Security Clearance Background Investigation

Background investigations for security clearance level checks involve work histories, friends and acquaintance interviews, full credit, criminal and civil court records. Educational transcripts and professional training verification and other personal information are assessed. Employers must have your permission for public school records, they cannot request health and medical records. Worker’s compensation histories and certain military records are available. Bankruptcies are public records as are most driving records. Technically bankruptcies cannot be used for declining employment.

Different Levels of Background Checks

Different positions require different levels of background checks. A credit check for a delivery or warehouseman may not be needed, but for a financial or accounting position they are certainly necessary. Another check is for moral fiber as honesty is often a rare commodity. Employers check your resume and confirm the information therein. Some employers even check and interview references and former employers. Estimates place 40% of the resumes submitted to a prospective employer contain tweaked or falsified information. Employers face many liability issues concerning negative retention of an employee. Negligent, bad or antisocial behavior are all part of conducting employment due diligence. Hiring a candidate with a bad driving record to drive company trucks or other vehicles leaves the employer vulnerable to litigation in case of car accidents. Controlled substance screenings may be required as well.
