Reason to Do a background check

This is why you should do a background check on someone...most applicants misrepresent their backgrounds and credentials, others just leave out important facts.

There are several tips that will help you get the goods on a person

1 Tell them you will check their references before making any hiring decisions

2. Ask them to sign a release to talk to former employerrs, refererences and in some cases credit reports.

3. Pay attention to both neutral and negative comments given to you.

4 Put less weight on positve and glowing references, as some employers and references are afraid of possible law suits.

5. fax over to anyone you contact the possible new employees release before calling them.

6. Use or ask for former supervisors and co owners as references, even if they do not want their current employer to know they are looking for a new job.

7. Ask for current pay stub if your trying to match or beat a pay rate they claim to be getting now.

8. Always ask specific questions to avoid getting vague answers.

9. Dont forget to verify the exact dates of employment, job titles and work performed.
