Pre Employment Background Screening Blog

If you've been using a third-party background screening service for your employee background checks, but are not 100% confident in the accuracy of the reports, you should be concerned. Employers are liable in the case of negligent hiring lawsuits and workplace violence, and having inaccurate or out of date information can be incredibly costly. At Inquest Screening, we know that we provide the best information possible, and encourage you to carefully choose your service.

Some of the questions you should be asking of your screening company are as follows: Does the company follow the FCRA and applicable state laws for screening? Do they provide guidance about your responsibilities as a user of consumer reports? Do they provide forms to obtain permission from the employee? How do they get their information? How do they know it's accurate?

At Inquest Screening, we are always happy to take current and potential clients through the entire process, answering as many questions as needed. When you call us at Inquest, you'll never be directed to an automated voice system, but instead will always have a live person that can answer your questions. You'll also find that, unlike some other companies, we can customize our client interface to meet the needs of your human resource department.

We believe that employers should make informed decisions about which company they use. That's why we offer a risk-free trial service that can be used in parallel with an existing service. This will allow you, as the employer, to judge for yourself how we can meet your needs in terms of customer service, turnaround, flexibility and accuracy.
