The most effective step in any loss prevention program is
to thoroughly screen as possible the individual being considered for employment.
Without conducting the most basic background investigation, the employer has no
way of knowing that the applicant has a history of illegal drug use, theft,
sexual abuse or worse. In addition, by hiring someone whose history is available
but not verified- you expose your firm and yourself to monetary loss and
potential lawsuits such as Negligent Hiring.
Here
are some facts to consider: 33% of
Employees admitted stealing –either money or a product- from their
employer in the past 3 years.
Approximately
30% of the listed educational credentials
are inaccurate.
Each
year there are two (2) million workplace
assaults and there are six (6) million threats
of violence in the workplace.
Background Investigation may be as simple as checking an
individual for past Criminal History. It may also involve Identity Verification;
Driving Record; Prior Employment Verifications; Educational Verification; Civil
and Bankruptcy records; and other data confirmation. These weaves a picture as
to the applicant’s past; their potential for staying with the job; and future
job performance.
The
ability to obtain thorough and prompt Criminal and Civil Records has been a
specialty of Invesco, Inc. since 1979. We
recognize that an employer cannot hold a job position open indefinitely while a
check is being conducted. We have the capability to thoroughly conduct this
search in minimal time at a reasonable cost nationwide. All reporting is in
compliance with newly established Federal Regulations.
We
utilize both computerized software and, where necessary, physical searches to
access public record repositories. We seek to uncover the information you
require so you can make informed decisions on potential business partners,
suppliers or investments. Our reporting can cover background of persons and
business entities, financial condition, reputation and identify past and pending
legal actions.
