Our team at Charlotte Private Investigator knows you care about your business, and we want to help you do what’s best for it. Before you hire a new employee in the Charlotte, North Carolina area, we encourage you to have us run a criminal background check on the candidate. Knowing an applicant’s background and criminal history will help you make the right decision about whether to hire them or not.
Keep reading to learn more about why we recommend running a criminal background check on each applicant as part of your hiring process.
- Physical Safety: The first reason we encourage you to check the background of each potential employee is because doing so will help keep your existing staff and your customers safe. You don’t want to bring someone into your team if they have a history of violence or destructive behavior, so it’s wise to run a criminal background check on them first.
- Financial Safety: When our team runs criminal background checks, we don’t just check for violent crimes but also for financial misconduct. In other words, we’ll investigate whether your employee candidate has a history of fraud, theft, or other financial crimes. If our background check process reveals a record of these kinds of crimes, you probably should not hire that candidate, as there’s a risk they will try to steal from your business.
- Peace of Mind: Lastly, our criminal background check process will give you greater peace of mind about your hiring decisions. Most of the time, our background checks reveal nothing to be concerned about.
