Candidate Reference Checks |
|
The resume is impressive, the interviews went well but somewhere, deep in your subconscious, there is a feeling of discomfort. Is the candidate hiding something? Well, pay attention! Making a hiring mistake is a real danger that can place both your business and your employees at risk. Each year, businesses lose over $40 billion dollars to employee theft and dishonesty. It can cause high turnover, low productivity, discipline problems and legal nightmares.
In today’s competitive job market, it is critical that you confirm that resume and interview information is factual and personal suitability is appropriate. But you cannot afford to skim the surface or take a “once over lightly” approach to verifying credentials. Detailed, objective reference checking is an integral part of the recruitment and selection process; job facts and job personal performance should be thoroughly checked for every hiring decision. By conducting in-depth background inquiries on prospective employees, you can diminish your legal risks and improve the quality of your workforce.
