RISK - BEFORE YOU HIRE
It is no
secret that the closest we all come to perfection is when we
construct a resume or fill out a job application!
Here are
facts every employer would do well to know BEFORE
YOU HIRE:
FACT
. . .
Studies
have shown with statistical significance a correlation between
prior criminal history and job related crimes. In addition,
a body of case law now exists that holds an employer liable
for injuries to third parties citing "negligent hiring
practices" resulting from employing an unfit or dangerous
person. AWARDS FOR JUDGMENTS
ARISING FROM NEGLIGENT HIRING LAWSUITS HAVE TOPPED $1,000,000.00
AND ARE CLIMBING.
FACT
. . .
A study
by the National Institute of Justice reveals that fully
A THIRD OF ALL EMPLOYEES ADMIT STEALING
FROM THEIR EMPLOYERS and almost two-thirds admit
sick leave abuse, use of alcohol and illegal drugs in the workplace
and falsification of time sheets.
THE ANNUAL COST OF EMPLOYEE THEFT IN THE U.S. HAS RISEN
TO AN ESTIMATED $40 BILLION! Thefts and
other forms of employee crime are RESPONSIBLE
FOR AN ESTIMATED 30% OF ALL BUSINESS FAILURES.
FACT
. . .
OVER
45% OF APPLICANTS LIE on resumes and/or job
application forms AT LEAST ONCE!
Misrepresentations range from multiple identities, educational
fabrications, exaggerated duties and responsibilities and reasons
for leaving a job. All information that is vital for you
in making a meaningful and risk reducing hiring decision.
It is becoming
increasing impossible to rely on traditional methods to avoid
mistakes and oversights in your hiring process.

this crisis. Retain Durham &
