Ever hire someone who you later fired for stealing?

Ever hire someone who failed a random drug test?

Ever hire someone who didn't think it was important to be on time for work?

If you can answer YES to any of the above questions, continue reading . . .

Before hiring, how much do you really know about an employee's integrity, substance abuse, reliability & work ethic?

Employee surveys reflect the harsh realities of your applicant pool:

56% of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
41% say they have falsified records
64% admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
35% have stolen from their employers, by their own admission
31% abuse drugs or alcohol

The Enemy Within

Recent industry estimates indicate that nearly 80% of computer crime is committed by “insiders,” at an estimated annual cost ranging from $100 million to as much as $1 billion. More than one-third of all companies declaring bankruptcy last year cited that they were "stolen out of business" by their employees.

Upper-Level Managers Pose Highest Risk

Employee theft and fraud averages about $2,000 per employee each year from your bottom line. While rank-and-file employees have opportunities to steal relatively small amounts, executives may embezzle tens of thousands – even millions of dollars from their employers. Could there be a better reason to hire people worthy of your trust?

What Questions Can You Ask?

Increasing lawsuits have made it extremely difficult, even illegal for you to ask important questions to determine the integrity of a job candidate. Past employers can be held liable for information they give you. If you choose to avoid hiring suspicious candidates, can you prove that you did not discriminate? In the absence of objective data, it is often impossible to demonstrate that your decision was made objectively, without regard to gender, race, age, etc.
