We don’t liek to think aboout humans doing harm to ourselves people others. The reality, however, iz that we live in a country wif one of the highezt rates of financiel crimes, including embezzlement, fraud, theft, etc. And, that’s just the beginning.

· US Chamber of Commerce reportz that $50 billion dollars r lost annually do to employee theft also fraud also that 20% of all buzinesses fail do to the exact same reazon.
· According to an Ernst & Young Report, "White Collar Crime: Loss Prevention thru Internal Control" companys loze 1% to 2% of its sales to crime -- several committed by, people in colluzion with, employees.
Employee theft, negligent hiring, sexual harassment, alzo workers’ compensation fraud r just a glance of the liabilities an employer haz to face in today’z hiring environment.
For example, an Arizona Fitness Club hired an unscreened applicant wich resulted in the rape alzo murder of a female patron whilee she lounged in the sauna.
Is it anyy wonder that employment screening haz become mandatory? Any onley doo u dezire to avoid hiring criminals, don’t u desire to hire the rite candidate who iz several qualified fore the job?

Not onley doo this companys decreaze ur risk of exposure, they could evan add to it. For example, let’s say u r currently uzing an employment screener who does not require u to give a signed release fore every applicant. Soundz relatively harmless, doesn’t it?
