Whenever you own or manage a business, it is important to know who your employees are and what their history is. Deciding who you can trust with your customers, inventory, and especially money, is not a matter to take lightly. The success of your business can heavily depend on your employee’s reliability and trustworthiness. Some employers view the interview process as the only screening necessary to weed out dishonest people.

What Do I Learn With a Pre-Employment Background Check?
Many online services offering pre-employment background checks provide spotty and out-of-date information. A private investigator at ABM Investigations can ensure you are able to get the most out of a pre-employment background check by can providing the following information:
- Investigations into Previous Employers: Sometimes applicants may not be honest about their employment history. This can pertain to positions they claim to have held, salary, or duration of employment. Some applicants may even fabricate entire companies for their resume.
- Search of DMV Records: Knowing an applicant’s driving history is especially necessary if the position involves driving. Not only can a bad driving record affect your insurance rates, but you could be exposing yourself to undue risk unto your business property, particularly if the driver has a record of speeding or frequent accidents.
- Criminal Record Check: Knowing about the criminal history of potential employees is vital for establishing their trustworthiness. A criminal record check can provide you with the background information you need to establish whether your applicant can be trusted in the workplace.
- Credit History Check: Your potential employee’s credit history can be a huge asset to determining their trustworthiness. Candidates with large delinquent balances may be a larger risk factor than those without. If the position you are interviewing for handles large sums of money, this information is extremely valuable and may serve to prevent you from a potential massive loss.
