How Much Should a Reliable Background Check Cost? by Rob Thompson What is a reasonable budget for a background check? Many companies approach this question from a logical purchasing perspective: find the cheapest product available that is sufficiently user-friendly. If your employees like it and your accountants don't hate it, you have done well.  My Contractor Said They Performed a Background Check by Nick Fishman Stop me if you've heard this before (or something similar): "I just don't understand how my contractor could have placed a habitual convicted felon in my accounting department (for example). They said they performed background checks on all of their employees!" Background Checks, Youth Sports, and the Local News by Kevin Bachman Background checks on youth sports volunteers have exploded in popularity within the last few years. Administrators within these organizations take steps to protect children, recognizing the opportunity athletics affords people with bad intentions. Professionals in our industry work with these organizations, striving to create a solution that achieves this goal. However, there is no magic bullet, no way to guarantee, each and every time, someone who intends to do harm cannot. Therefore, it is important to look at the methods and tools youth organizations choose to protect children and limit opportunity. The Many Terms and Meanings of Criminal Non-Convictions by Andrew Cashman When working with criminal records every day it's easy to forget that what we know, understand, and analyze isn't always as easy for employers to understand. With so many different terms used in the judicial process we know why. Here at employeescreenIQ we like to make our criminal reports simple to read by following a strict formatting process. We also use side-notes to try and explain abnormal terms or phrases. We hope that this article further assists you in understanding some of the scenarios surrounding a non-conviction.  got blog?
