Reference Checking
The reasons for screening applicants are many. Employers can minimize their exposure to claims by conducting thorough reference checks and background investigations of job applicants. The information below is accurate and valid as examples of why background screening should be a part of every hire. Through our exclusive partnership with A.I.M., we help you avoid the workplace risks that can be inherent in making a bad hire.
False Information is more common than you think:
- 9% of job applicants falsely claim they had a college degree, listed false employers, or identified jobs that didn't exist.
- 34% of all application forms contain outright lies about experience, education, and ability to perform essential functions on the job.
- 11% of job applicants misrepresented why they left a former employer.
- Nearly one-third of job applicants listed dates of employment that were inaccurate by more than three months.
- As many as 30% of job seekers exaggerate their accomplishments, and about 10% 'seriously misrepresent' their background. We have the services to support your reference checking needs.
