The Changing World Means the Need for Background Checks for Small Business

Corra is finding more and more small businesses are calling and inquiring about background checks. For most, they never bothered with preemployment screening. But the changing times has dictated that this for them as well as larger companies is rapidly becoming a necessity.

Background checks are cost effective. They will help you screen for the better employment candidates, and they will help you avoid costly litigation, liability, and public embarrassment. Let’s face it, your clients and customers will drift away if your start to make negative headlines for substance or sexual issues or other nasty bits that draw attention to your company.

Small businesses are not wrong when they run background checks on their recruits. The very least you should do is run the Social Security Trace and one of several criminal searches. If you are not sure which criminal search is best for your needs, you can always call Corra. We love to answer the phone.
