Why Do Employers Perform Extensive Criminal Background Checks Before Hiring?

A CV cannot tell a prospective employer whether an applicant has a clean background. The common practice of doing a background check might extend the recruiting process overall. Today we will explain what a background check is, why employers conduct them, what information businesses may look for, and the best way to conduct one.

What is a Background Check?

A background check is one of the most important tools that you can use to protect yourself, your family, and your business. By conducting a background check, you can obtain valuable information about someone’s criminal history, financial history, and more. This information can assist you in making informed decisions about whether to trust someone, as well as determining whether a person continues to comply with your organization’s safety and security requirements.

How does a background check help an employer?

A background check can reveal details about a candidate’s previous employment history and any prior convictions. A thorough criminal background check provides information such as arrests, convictions, or other legal actions against the applicant. This can range from minor traffic violations to violent crimes such as murder or rape. Most businesses run background checks manually.

But what are the drawbacks of manual criminal background checks?

• It’s expensive
• You need to hire someone to do it
• You need to train your staff

When conducting manual criminal background checks, you must ensure everyone knows what they should look for. Otherwise, you risk missing something. Training is necessary to ensure that your employees look at the right things and use the right criteria.

Numerous apps on the market claim to be able to identify a convicted person in minutes. However, most apps require a large amount of information from applicants, which must be entered manually. Aside from that, these are expensive and necessitate extensive coding knowledge.

Before choosing a criminal background checking app, consider the following factors.

• Will it be possible to automate your workflow with it?
• Does it necessitate complicated steps or prior coding knowledge to use?
• Will it be able to generate instant reports and save them inside CRM?

Above all, and most importantly, you should prioritize whether it makes business decisions automatically. Most applications fail to provide all of these functions and will not benefit your organization in the long run.
