The cost of getting it wrong
The Department of Commerce has reported that businesses suffer roughly forty billion dollars a year in direct losses from employee theft, and far more in time theft and misconduct. Employers are also bound by state and federal securities law and corporate codes that assume the integrity of the people they place in positions of trust. It is well known that individuals involved in narcotics, organized crime or fraud can construct a personal or financial profile that withstands ordinary scrutiny. Ours is not ordinary scrutiny.
What our screening includes
Every engagement begins with a due diligence investigation appropriate to the role. Where desired, we add an in-depth inquiry into the candidate's previous job performance, behavior patterns, job-related drug or alcohol abuse, reasons for leaving, eligibility for rehire, general suitability and salary history where available.
- Identity and Social Security number verification
- Criminal history at the county, state and federal level
- Employment and education verification
- Professional license verification and standing with licensing boards
- Driving records and workers' compensation history where job-relevant
- Civil litigation, judgments and bankruptcy where permitted
- Reference and reputation interviews for executive and fiduciary roles
Screening candidates from Colombia, Venezuela and abroad
South Florida employers hire from across Latin America, and a candidate's most important history may be outside the United States. We verify foreign education, employment and records through our network in Colombia, Venezuela and the region, giving you a complete picture before the offer letter goes out.
