What is a Criminal Background Check?
Background checks are an essential part of making the most informed hiring decision about your applicant and assess any risks associated with bringing someone with a criminal record on board.
Employers who conduct background checks greatly reduce the risk of employee theft, fraud and embezzlement. Background checks may reveal past criminal behavior and save your company thousands of dollars by helping you prevent a bad hire. Additionally, it is important that you protect your employees and clients from sex and violent offenders. Conducting background checks sends a message to your employees, vendors and clients that you are serious about safety.
It's important to educate yourself about what’s included in a criminal background check. NCS offers a variety of comprehensive background check packages, and our amazing customer service team is available to help you get started and to answer any questions you may have throughout the process.
