Criminal Background Check
Before hiring anyone, whether for a firm or for private work, a criminal check is an absolute must in the corporate industry. This is especially the case if you are to employ people who will be working with children, the elderly or otherwise vulnerable.
Corporate investigations may also need to be thought about, in order to protect a large organization.
Criminal background checks have become a necessary part of the hiring process.

Your own background checks may take up your time and they may not be in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act or you may not be aware that you should report your findings to the Office of Foreign Assets Control under local laws.

Employment Background Screening
Employment checks are essential for company confidence. While a potential hire may state that they have no criminal record and that they have not been sacked from previous roles due to criminal activity, employers cannot always take someone at their word, they may have to search for the truth.
Reference checks are also part of the employer's recruitment process for new hires, where employers typically search for confirmation that their candidate's records and data are honest before they hire the applicant.
Employers have a right to know the truth about the people they are adding to their business.
Candidates may think they can pull the wool over their employer's eyes, however, it isn't uncommon in the business industry for such checks to be carried out to give the employer peace of mind.
Frauds within a business can have detrimental repercussions for an organization, so it is recommended that employers do their due diligence prior to the hire of a new employee.
It's nothing personal, it's simply the regulations that ensure an employer can trust this new person to be a positive asset to their business.
Applicants have to understand that an organization cannot risk the downfall of their positioning in their industry, due to hiring staff that don't match their corporate values and morals.
