Why should you conduct background checks on potential employees and volunteers?
Some people make the mistake of assuming that all potential volunteers and employees
are as altruistic as the missions of the groups they propose serving. Being wrong
in today’s world means putting other employees and volunteers in harm’s way, the
possibility of being held legally accountable for negligent hiring, and leaving
your organization exposed to theft and other damages.
Pinnacle offers thorough background investigations that can be tailored to meet
your needs, and in most cases we can guarantee that a criminal history report will
be sent to you within 24 hours. Many background screening companies only report
convictions because they only have access to third party databases. When we research
the court dockets, we are able to provide you with information that is usually missed
by these companies.
For example, a data screening service showed that an applicant had no record, but
court docket research showed that the individual had two counts of rape that were
dismissed after the victims refused to testify. In this case, there was nothing
the applicant volunteered about his background or in his behavior that prevented
him from making it to the pre-employment background investigation.
Due Diligence is a necessity and not a luxury.
