Why should companies conduct background checking?
To ensure safety and security of your organisation
Employers may conduct background checks to ensure that they are hiring individuals who are not a risk to the safety and security of the organisation or its employees.
To make informed decisions
Background checks can provide valuable information that can help employers and other organisations make informed decisions about whether to hire an individual, rent to them, or allow them to volunteer.
To protect the organisation's reputation
Employers may conduct background checks to protect the reputation of the organisation by ensuring that they are not hiring individuals with a history of unethical or illegal behavior.
To verify the accuracy of an individual's resume
Employers may conduct background checks to verify that an individual's resume is accurate and that they have the qualifications and experience they claim to have.
To comply with legal requirements
Some organisations, such as those in certain industries or those that work with vulnerable populations, may be required by law to conduct background checks on employees or volunteers.
