Recently, a commercial cleaning company seeking to hire a new candidate was interested in learning more about this potential employee. The client first conducted a ‘Right To Work Document Verification’ to test the candidate’s eligibility. The verification came back clear, but had the client stopped there, it would have been a terrible mistake.
On the application form, the candidate did not admit to any unspent criminal convictions, however the client was prudent enough to verify this. The result of the Criminal Disclosure came back not clear, with 12 convictions on record, including a serious offense which resulted in a 16 year jail sentence.
Among the offences were: burglary and theft, criminal damage, minor traffic offences, robbery, wounding with intent, and using a firearm to resist arrest. It is no surprise that the candidate had wanted to keep this information from their prospective employer.
BackCheck’s philosophy for safe hiring is to ‘Trust, But Verify’. Unsavoury candidates will often conceal their past criminal or employment histories, which can lead companies to make poor hiring decisions.
