Spring has sprung, which means hiring season is ramping up.
Businesses across the country are preparing for summer and their busy season. They are stocking up on things like employees, merchandise and inventory.
While getting ready for business to ramp up, you should also consider how you are hiring your staff. Small businesses often hire family and friends thinking they are reliable and trustworthy. While they are in most cases, all it takes is one bad apple to leave a bad taste in your company’s mouth.
What if you hire a family friend just for the summer? He comes from a great family and is a good kid. What could go wrong, right? What if he had a DUI just weeks before you hired him. Would you still like him to drive company vehicles?
Listed below are some recommended background checks: 
– National Criminal Database Search
– County Criminal History Report
– Sex Offender Registry
– SSN Trace/ Validation
– Employment Credit Report
– Workers’ Compensation Report
Consider running a background check on new hires. As much as you might think you know about them, it’s still important. Running a criminal background check along with employment verifications will tell you the things you must know when hiring
. Criminal and financial records can be indicators for future behavior. If someone has a long history of workers’ compensation and have filed for bankruptcy, they are more likely to steal from the company or fake an injury.
