Background Check Employment History

Employment Background Checks - What Employers Should Be Looking For

Employers should have established goals when they consider hiring someone with a criminal record. The US Department of Labor has reported that nearly 2 million American employees have experienced workplace violence each year. Employers operating in high stress job situations or businesses that serve alcohol may want to reconsider hiring individuals that have a criminal record that includes violent crimes.

Companies that make deliveries or have employees that spend a considerable amount of work time on the road may not want to hire employees with DUI, DWI or drug abuse convictions. Employers may also want to review the employee's driving records for traffic violations, tickets. etc.

With the exception of the sex offender registry, background check companies are legally bound to revealing on the past 7 years of criminal convictions. Going beyond the 7 years could result in litigation.

Employment background checks can also include credit reports. Bad credit reports may go hand in hand with prior theft of fraudulent criminal charges. Credit reports can provide insight into the employee's handling of debt and may highlight potential risk of theft or embezzlement.

The applicant's employment history should also be considered when making hiring decisions. Verifying the terms under which an employee has left the company as well as determining whether or not they will be qualified to perform the duties of the position that they are applying for is of great importance to future employers. Reference check services as well as education verification services are available through AAACSS.

Through background checks and verification actions can assist hiring manages by weeding out unworthy applicants and highlighting the most qualified candidates that will fit in with their corporate culture, work ethic and performance requirements.
