Recruiting and Staffing Industry Solutions

Due to the competitive nature of the staffing industry, firms face special challenges when it comes to background screening. As a result, many staffing agencies regularly send out temps and job candidates everyday with no idea whether or not they are risking financial ruin by sending a person with a history of violence, criminal past, or drug problem into the client's workplace.

It is a common misconception that the staffing agency or recruiter is not liable if they place a temps or job candidates who then goes on to harm someone or cause a criminal act.

Factors that prevent staffing agencies from implementing a screening program can range from cost, turn-around time for results, or lack of such a requirement directly from their client.

Although there are some costs involved with background screening, they are insignificant when compared to the potential liability for negligent hiring.
