TUCSON & PHOENIX EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECKS
While pre-employment investigations involve some of the same research as a background check, it goes beyond it by verifying and evaluating an applicant’s truthfulness in their applications and their job-related qualifications, as well as identifying potential hiring risks. It’s our goal to help employers make the best possible, enlightened hiring decisions with a complete, big-picture view of the applicant’s past.
SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF PRE-EMPLOYMENT INVESTIGATIONS
Workplace safety and making sure applicants are who they say they are, and have accomplished what their applications say they have, are obvious reasons why companies utilize Inter-State Investigative Services for our pre-employment investigations.
But there are other important reasons, too. There’s the increased morale that comes with smart hiring decisions. Another is saving company resources by not repeatedly going through the hiring process. Longer employee retention is yet another benefit. And reducing potential liability from actions by an employee is still another very important reason to use Inter-State Investigative Services for your pre-employment investigations in Arizona.
Some companies are required by law to undertake pre-employment investigations. If your business is in the financial, educational, transportation, health care, or law enforcement industries, there are state and federal regulations, which dictate certain types of pre-employment investigations. We routinely handle these kinds of situations.
DIFFICULT ECONOMIC TIMES REQUIRE INCREASED SCRUTINY
With high unemployment in many industries, there are, unfortunately, increased occurrences of job applicants inflating and/or completely inventing employment history and qualifications. This makes pre-employment investigations even more of a necessity. Difficult economic conditions can bring out the worst in people but, Inter-State Investigative Services pre-employment investigations can help give employers a better indication as to what a potential employee’s future behavior will likely be.
