Questions to Ask When Choosing a Background Screening Company

Background checks make sense. A bad hire can cause headaches and worse for a business, its owners and employees. Background screening provides verification that a potential employee is being honest about their accomplishments, education and history.

Pre-employment background checks are regulated by state and local laws and the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Not following the rules  leave a company open to lawsuits by aspiring employees and fines from the government.

Questions to Ask

Does the pre-employment background check company:

• Have accreditation from the National Association of Professional Background Screeners?
• Comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act?
• Provide forms for potential employees to sign that authorize the background check?
• Deliver accurate, easy-to-read written reports?
• Offer an acceptable turnaround time?
• Have pricing that’s affordable for your business?

You will also want to make sure the company provides guidance in reading and understanding the reports.
