Background Checks

Download

Background checks are useful tools for employers in hiring and promoting the most qualified people. They can help identify and screen out those candidates who have given inaccurate information on employment applications or who might present a risk of violence or theft in the workplace. Employers conducting background checks are generally seeking information that will provide insight into an employee's general character and suitability for a particular position. Use this "Background Checks" policy template to create a policy that fits the needs of your organization.
