In today’s security-conscious marketplace, employment screening has never been a more important aspect in the hiring process. As the demand for quality employees increases, the need to adequately screen your applicants becomes more essential.

Many employers are not aware of the liability associated with inadequate employment screening methods. As a result, employers increase their exposure to lawsuits stemming from, but not limited to, Negligent Hiring, Negligent Retention and Negligent Referral.

  Why Screen Applicants?  
  Statistics show that people are far more likely to be the victim of workplace violence than ever before.  Workplace violence is on the rise in the United States and so are the associated costs.  According to the U.S. Department of Justice, more than 1.5 million assaults, 376,000 aggravated assaults, and 51,000 reported rapes at the workplace.  The latest statistics from the Workplace Violence Resource institute released information that indicates that workplace violence costs American businesses more than $36 billion each year in direct and indirect costs.  Now more than ever, it's critical to get as much information on every job applicant as possible before making the decision to hire.
