While seemingly simple and affordable, such services present potential risks that could pose a threat to a businesses\u2019 brand.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
While seemingly simple and affordable, such services present potential risks that could pose a threat to a businesses\u2019 brand.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s a brief list of considerations that could serve as a litmus test as to whether a DIY background check service or a more-conventional Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) is the best choice for you.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>
As with any type of research upon which your business may depend, background checks require thorough scrutiny of data sources.<\/p>\n
Such research expends large amounts of both time and personnel resources. Take, for example, legal records used for criminal background checks.<\/p>\n
In the United States, available data differs between federal, state, and municipal levels; for example, there are thousands of jurisdictions where pubic records can be obtained, and the manner for obtaining these records can vary from court to court.<\/p>\n
So, depending on how many locations the candidate attended school, lived and worked, researchers may be faced with combing through records maintained in numerous locations.<\/p>\n
CRAs typically enlist the aid of court runners since many jurisdictions require in-person representation to access their records.<\/p>\n
How will the DIY service you\u2019re considering deal with this complex and often inconsistent process?<\/p>\n
Also, DIY services may merely aggregate information on a candidate based on readily-available online data, to include publicly available information contained in news stories and social media accounts.<\/p>\n
Ask if that is the case because solely using and relying upon such information presents potential legal risks to an employer; the information may be on the wrong person, incorrect or out of date.<\/p>\n
And making a hiring decision based on a candidate\u2019s public online persona without ensuring the data is accurate and complete may be deemed prejudicial.<\/p>\n
