Background screening - Pre-employment screening

1 Pre-employment screening refers to the process of investigating the backgrounds of potential employees and is commonly used

to verify the accuracy of an applicant's claims as well as to discover any possible criminal history, workers compensation

claims, or employer sanctions. For example, CBC News of Canada reported that fraud in

the workplace cost Canadian Businesses over $3.2 Billion in 2011.

Background screening - Types of checks

1 There are a variety of types of investigative searches that can be used by potential

employers. Many commercial sites will offer specific searches to employers for a fee.

Services like these will actually perform the checks, supply the company with adverse

action letters, and ensure compliance throughout the process. It is important to be

selective about which pre-employment screening agency you use. A legitimate

company will be happy to explain the process to you.

Employment integrity testing

1 The honesty or integrity of individuals can be tested via pre-employment screening from

employers. Employers may administer personnel selection tests within the scope of

background checks that are used to assess the likelihood that employees will engage in dishonest behavior. Integrity tests are

administered to assess whether the honesty of the potential candidate is acceptable in respect to theft and counterproductive work behavior.

These tests may weigh in on the final personnel decisions.

Polygraph - Society and culture

1 In the movie Harsh Times the protagonist, played by actor Christian

Bale, is caught trying to beat a polygraph test during a pre-employment screening for a federal law enforcement job. He stores a tack in the toe of his shoe and

uses the pain sensation to mask his true apprehension of certain questions. The polygrapher is immediately suspicious

and the examination is ended.
