Background Check Fraud on the rise - CrimShield solves the problem...

According to David Pickron, President of CrimShield Inc., an Arizona-based background investigation company, using an instant background check service may actually increase your odds of inadvertently hiring a criminal.

Why you ask... how can this be possible?

The answer is simple. These instant database search style background check companies simply take the information entered into their system at face-value and then runs the data through an incomplete data base. If there are no red-flags... the applicant passes. So... if you have a criminal history, you know that one number or one character of misinformation on the application lets you sail through the screening process with ease. These systems aren't like Google. You won't get an message that says... Did you mean John A. Smith? If the applicant misspells his name, no records will be found... period.

Criminals love applying at companies with loose screening policies like this. So remember, if you are using a cheap, instant background solution to make your hiring decisions, your organization is a prime target for the known criminals that can't get hired elsewhere.

Is your background screening protocol making it easy for those with a criminal past to commit fraud with intentionally inaccurate information on their employment application?

At CrimShield, we have seen numerous sex-offenders, career thieves and even convicted murderers working for a variety of companies after passing these shoddy instant background checks online. It simply isn't worth the risk, protecting the people you serve and your company's reputation is too important!
