Gobble Up the Gold Standard: How Thanksgiving is Just Like Background Screening

Thanksgiving is the season of food, family, and reflection—and surprisingly, it’s also the perfect metaphor for background screening. Hear us out! At Alliance Background, we’ve found that the key to a great Thanksgiving and a seamless background screening process share more similarities than you might think.

The Main Course: Thoroughness Matters

Just as no Thanksgiving table is complete without a perfectly roasted turkey (or a delicious vegetarian equivalent), no hiring process is complete without a comprehensive background check. Cutting corners with your bird—or your screening—leaves guests and employers alike feeling unsatisfied.

At Alliance Background, we go beyond the surface, diving into criminal records, verifications, and compliance to ensure your candidates are fully vetted. Think of us as your Thanksgiving chef, making sure the turkey’s golden, juicy, and cooked to perfection (no half-baked results here!).

The Side Dishes: Diversity is Key

Thanksgiving without mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, and stuffing? Blasphemy! A feast thrives on variety, just like a well-rounded screening process. Employment verification, drug testing, international compliance—you need the right “side dishes” to make your process complete.

At Alliance Background, our Gold Standard includes diverse services tailored to your needs, ensuring that your hiring process has all the trimmings without leaving anything to chance.

The Cranberry Sauce: The Unexpected Delight

Love it or hate it, cranberry sauce is a Thanksgiving staple. It’s a bit unexpected but rounds out the meal in a unique way. In background screening, we like to think of our educational resources—like Screening University? or the KnOWLedge Vault?—as the cranberry sauce of your hiring process. They’re the unexpected delights that make everything smoother, more compliant, and dare we say, more delicious.

The Gravy: Communication Makes It Flow

Gravy ties everything together, and in background screening, communication does the same. Just like a host keeps everyone on the same page at the dinner table, we ensure that candidates, employers, and third parties stay connected throughout the screening process. Timely updates and clear expectations make the experience seamless—no lumpy gravy or miscommunications here!

The Leftovers: Maximizing Value

Thanksgiving leftovers are the unsung heroes of the holiday, just like the insights you gain from a top-tier background check. A thorough screening doesn’t just help you hire the right person; it protects your business, reinforces compliance, and strengthens your brand for years to come.

At Alliance Background, we provide not just results but long-lasting value. It’s like having a fridge stocked with next-day turkey sandwiches, mashed potato pancakes, and stuffing-stuffed everything.

A Seat at Our Table

This Thanksgiving, as you sit around the table with your family and friends, think about the effort, care, and love that goes into making the perfect meal. That’s the same level of dedication we bring to background screening.

So, whether you’re carving a turkey or carving out a spot for your next hire, remember to aim for the Gold Standard—because everyone deserves to feast on success.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Alliance Background! ??
