Everyone has their favorite story about falsified credentials and phony work experience. See Classic Employer Nightmares. Stories like these can be avoided by careful applicant background screening.

The benefits of comprehensive employment background screening include: increased applicant and new hire quality, reduced workplace violence, reduced negligent hiring liability, reduced losses from employee dishonesty, making the right hire the first time, and avoiding negative publicity. The bottom line is that pre-employment background checks help an organization be more successful. That means greater profits to for-profit organizations and greater impact for non profits.
