Good help is hard to find, and it’s always exciting when you find an applicant who seems to be a perfect fit for your company. Unfortunately, resumes often present a highly idealized version of your applicant’s employment history, and you should always be concerned about what’s not included. Most businesses have high standards but limited time and resources, which presents unique challenges throughout the hiring and onboarding process. Each applicant and new hire adds business and security risks, but it’s challenging to vet prospective employees properly. The professional references your candidates list on their resumes will typically offer them a glowing endorsement, or they might simply neglect to reveal certain information that paints the candidate in an unfavorable light. You can’t be too careful when making new hires, and First Choice offers background checks to ensure that your candidates have clean driving records and criminal histories!
