What You Need to Know about Background Checks


Why, When, and How Should You be Using Background Checks in Your Business?

This is the one big question that drove us to start our blog, and one that continues to stymy many business owners! 

Back in 2012, when we were just getting started with the whole social media marketing thing, we found that so many companies were confused and unsure about background checks. They really didn't understand how using them to help make hiring decisions was good for them and their business.

Many cited money reasons ~ after all, they were looking at spending their hard earned funds on someone that they may not even end up hiring. Others didn't think that the information they could find during an employment screening would really be of any value.

Then there were these 3 big questions ~ 
  1. Why should I use background checks to hire? 
  2. How can I choose a quality background check company? 
  3. What can do with the information in the background check report to help me hire?


Background Checks are Crucial to Every Good Hiring Process "Tweet This"!

This confusion prompted us to write a 3 part series of articles designed to answer these questions and help alleviate the confusion ~ a lofty undertaking if we do say so ourselves!

We began by focusing our first article on the question of "Why" using screening potential employees makes sense.

At API we believe in this as a fundamental truth ~ employment background checks are a crucial step in helping you hire the most qualified and safest employees for your business.

Employment Screening will Help You:
  • Determine Your Applicant's honesty
  • Create a Safer Workplace
  • Protect Company Assets
  • Keep Compliant
  • Increase Your Protection from Lawsuits 
Discover more about the "why" of background checks in "5 Reasons Why You Need to Use Employment Background Checks".

In the next few weeks we will take a look back at the rest of this series and touch on "How" to choose the best background check company for you and "What" you can do with your background check report during your hiring process.
