Staffing Companies, Employee Screenings, and backgroundchecks.com | Case Study

When it comes to hiring new people, staffing companies have a unique responsibility. These agencies need to vet employees and contractors for the same reasons that other businesses do: a crime, accident, or other incident involving an employee can lead to safety fears, legal liability, and a PR disaster—especially if there is reason to think that the incident could have been avoided with stronger screening. But staffing companies have one responsibility to bear that most businesses do not when it comes to responsible vetting.  

The people that these agencies hire aren’t only performing internal duties that reflect on the company and impact its staff and clients. They are going into other businesses as temporary workers or staffing reinforcements. As such, not only do staffing agencies have a responsibility to protect their own business from dangerous and unfit hires—they also must protect the companies, employees, and clients that utilize their services.

Staffing agencies need a dependable way to vet their candidates, find red flags, and weed out hires who might pose a threat to the businesses that the agency serves. Many staffing companies rely on backgroundchecks.com to fill this critical employee screening need. Here are just a few that have discovered the quality and reliability of backgroundchecks.com screening services.
