Pre
Employment Screening Services
With
all the new legislation impacting Canadian Corporations these days,
employers are increasingly turning to background screenings of job
applicants as a way of minimizing legal and financial exposure.
Concerns about fraud, theft, work place violence, negligent-hiring,
wrongful dismissals and other problems are requiring many employers
to be more selective about who they hire.
Companies
are performing more and more criminal background and credit bureau
checks, because they know screening saves time and money wasted
in recruiting, hiring and training the wrong candidates and eliminates
potential difficulties in the work force.
In fact, vicarious liability suggests that employers who fail to
take reasonable precautions about whom they hire can be sued if
an employee with a criminal background harms someone.
