When someone is applying for a job at any level,
they are applying for responsibility. Anyone
looking to work for someone must be able to
handle the responsibility they would be granted,
and that's why employers have to know the
applicants previous employment experience and
education. They are not just titles, ranks, and
empty words, a Masters Degree is a measure of
ability, and thus, the employer must be sure,
positive, that the applicant actually has
achieved the things they claimed, less they are
not able to handle the responsibilities given.
A lack of experience or education where it is
required can cause a company loss, where it does
not put people in out right danger. An
unqualified electrician, or an incompetent nurse
can kill someone. Checking whatever
qualifications a person claims can often be as
easy as it was for that person to make them.
Whether they are outright lying or simply
embellishing, a simple pre employment
investigation can tell you exactly what you need
to know to decide whether or not you think this
person is capable of handling the
responsibilities you would be handing them.
Another thing many employers require, for good
reason, is criminal record. A tax attorney with
a history involving shady business deals or
embezzlement can cost a company thousands in
stolen or misplaced funds. The same can be true
for an accountant, or even a simple clerk. It
can be agreed that sexual offenders should not
work in the Little Miss section of a department
store, or that a person with a history of repeat
violent offences may not be the best person to
be in contact with your customers. The list is
endless, and each danger is real and present.
These can also be prevented, in almost every
case, by simple pre employment investigations,
which are quick, affective and accurate.
