Making the right hiring decisions for your company is critical but not always easy. In today’s society, it’s necessary for businesses to protect both their companies and their employees, so it’s very important to conduct background checks.

The recent rise in workplace violence has resulted in an increased use of background screenings as part of the hiring process. Background screenings can be thought of as a first-line defense system for businesses. Having a screening process in place allows employers to make more well-informed decisions when hiring and can potentially put a stop to workplace risks such as theft, fraud, abuse or even worse.

When combining industry experience with the latest technology, you can receive fast and accurate results. There is a broad range of different types of background screenings, such as county, state and federal criminal searches, employment and education verifications, and other screenings like social security reports and motor vehicle reports to name a few; so make sure to find the one that is right for your needs.

Because ESS offers complete background checks while ensuring you stay compliant with the law, you can be available to focus on other issues that concern the job at hand.

By asking the right questions, background screenings can offer additional insight into a candidate’s performance, experience and personality.  It can not only save companies’ money in the long run, but it is an easy and effective way to make sure you have the right employees in place and are protecting your business.
