In today’s economy, businesses simply can’t afford to make bad hiring decisions. While there are no guarantees that a background review will ensure that you find a good match for your company, a proper and comprehensive investigation will provide you with relevant information to be in the best position possible to make good, informed hiring decisions. A thorough background investigation will allow you to corroborate details provided by selected applicants and uncover any potentially derogatory issues that may expose your company to liability.
Every bad hire that you make can negatively impact your business in a variety of ways, ranging from monetary losses from compensation packages and liability lawsuits to the impact on employee morale and customer service. A thorough and properly performed background investigation can help weed out applicants that are ‘padding’ their resume to appear qualified for the position and leave you with a pool of candidates that specifically match the skills desired. We don’t just offer pre-employment screening services, we provide you with peace of mind when making hiring decisions.
Long answer short, probably. If (1) you are utilizing an investigator or background check provider, such as Whelan & Whelan, and (2) you are requesting a background Fair Credit Reporting Act investigation on a new hire, current employee, or someone that you will have decision-making authority concerning their employment, you will need a signed release form. This is a requirement under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. There may be additional requirements under state and federal law that you will have to apply to your situation, but we will always take the time to fully discuss this information with you at the start of any investigation.
