The Internet can seem like a magical place to be because you no longer have to go on guesswork regarding your potential employees and the fact that one of them might just have a criminal record/background and expose your business’s safety, profits and security. Instead, you can turn to conducting a quick search of all public records that help you find out whether a prospective employee holds a criminal background or not?
Well, not exactly.
Hiring Fairly is Possible with Accurate Background Checks
If you’re looking to run a background screening on prospective employees, you’ve got to make sure that the results you’re getting are from a reliable source and are accurate as well. This can be rather hard and next to impossible if you’re relying on standard searches conducted through public records that automatically filter criminal records.
Another problem lies in the fact that public records often contain inaccuracies or ‘false positive’ information. What that would mean is that some potential employees might be shown sporting a criminal record when in reality, they have none.
If you’re utilizing automatic filtering to search for criminal backgrounds and records and don’t bother to double check to ensure the accuracy of the results, you could end up missing stellar candidates who’re being unfairly penalized. So what can you do? Verify all sources. How? By utilizing accuracy services like ACUTRAQ.
