Criminal Background Checks for Employment

Criminal background checks for employment are a widely accepted measure used by employers to establish the duty of reasonable care imposed upon them by the Negligent Hiring Doctrine; comply with applicable legal requirements to conduct criminal background screening; and avoid the harmful consequences of a “bad hire.” A well designed employment screening program that includes criminal background checks can mitigate employer risk and lead to better hiring decisions.   GET DETAILS

Personal Background Checks & Identity Verifications

Personal background searches specifically relate to screening of an individual’s behavior and activities outside what you might find in a criminal check or drug screening. In an age of ever-increasing personal privacy rights and concerns, personal searches (like other types of background screening) require strict adherence to rules and regulations around the collection, interpretation, and use of screening information. As a Consumer Reporting Agency and experienced background screening company, Proforma helps hiring companies navigate this environment to build screening programs that are both useful and compliant.

Ongoing Employee Screening & Monitoring

Like negligent hiring, retaining an employee whose potentially damaging behavior is known or should have been known by the employer can bring about a case of negligent retention. First recognized by the Florida Supreme Court in 1954, the tort of negligent retention considers it the employer’s responsibility to become aware of problems with employees that may indicate they are unfit for the job at hand; and furthermore to take action, such as investigating, discharging, or reassigning the employee in order to reduce the employee’s risk of harm to others. Our ongoing employee screening and monitoring services are designed to reduce your risk of negligent retention and help you maintain a safe and compliant workforce. GET DETAILS

Employment Background Verifications & Reference Checks

53% of people lie on their résumé in some fashion, from minor omissions to outright faking, according to research from the Society for Human Resource Managers. With that number, it’s no wonder companies are putting their trust in pre-employment background verification checks, instead of applicants. Smart companies are spending more time than ever verifying applicant-provided information to avoid the cost and liability of a “bad hire.” Verify the facts. We offer a wide range of pre-employment background verification services to verify your applicant’s claims. GET DETAILS
