NationSearch Background Screening

Background screenings better evade false credentials and negligent hiring.
Medical malpractice lawsuits aren’t uncommon to the healthcare sphere. However, background screenings may be able to better prevent these lawsuits as a result of verifying credentials, thus avoiding negligent hiring.
It’s important that your company has proper protocols in place to identify any applicants that have falsified information before you hire them.
A thorough background check verifies licenses, educational and criminal background histories, and work experience, in the hopes of keeping your company from any allegations of credentialing that can lead to negligent hiring.

Background screenings improve patient protection.
Unfortunately, we’re not at a point where we can simply trust someone’s word (or resume) anymore, and we need extra processes in place to keep everyone safe. There are so many stories in the media where people were taken advantage of because the staff was not properly screened. And, this is not just medical staff members such as nurse aids and/or RNs; doctors are also falsifying information.
Kenneth Dean Lee was not known for his compassionate patient care, instead, he was a medical predator preying on and assaulting the vulnerable immigrant community for 15 years, pretending he was a doctor. And, even when doctors have a medical license and have been banned from practicing medicine as a result of criminal convictions or allegations, many end up slipping through the cracks because background checks and license verifications weren’t conducted.
To better protect your patients, it’s crucial to run a background check on every healthcare employee you hire!

MEDICAL

In all healthcare jobs, employees have near-constant contact with members of the public, including in potentially compromising situations where personal information — and even personal safety — could be at risk. Beyond ensuring they’re hiring properly licensed and highly qualified staff members who will carry out their responsibilities effectively, medical facilities need to be sure their employees do not pose any sort of safety risk to patients.

It’s a sad truth that many individuals with unwholesome intentions gravitate toward positions that will put them in contact with those they would like to take advantage of. That’s why NationSearch diligently pursues past employment verifications, criminal record searches, and s*x offender registry investigations on behalf of healthcare employers nationwide.

Background Screening and Vehicle Sales

Car sales is just another sector of transportation where background screenings are extremely relevant. Not only are they working directly with the general public day in and day out selling vehicles, but they also have access to sensitive information.
There are many benefits car sales employers can benefit from when it comes to their background screening and hiring processes. Let’s examine them below.
Reduced Turnover
Turnover can be a glaring issue in the car sales industry because if you’re not hiring the ideal candidate the first time, your costs and the employee turnover rate skyrockets. And while there are many factors that play a role in why employees leave or are fired, background checks can help employers avoid hiring dishonest employees with a criminal history.
If you don’t prevent hiring bad employees it can lead to higher insurance premiums, an increase in theft, absenteeism, accidents, falsified worker’s comp claims, and decreased productivity — all of which are eating away at your bottom line.
Negligent Hiring Prevention
Negligent hiring doesn’t just allude to a bad hire, but it has legal implications. If you hire an employee with a criminal history and they end up harming a customer or stealing from another employee, it falls on you and can result in a lawsuit because you didn’t implement a background check, and failed to expose this crucial information.
Improved Safety
When you can keep potentially harmful employees from your car lot, everyone wins. Your employees don’t have to second guess whether or not the employee can be trusted and your customers can feel safe knowing that their personal information is protected.
Reduced Drug and Alcohol Abuse
Drug and alcohol screening is important, especially when vehicles are involved. Not only does this behavior become a liability but it puts everyone in danger. Substance abuse screening can help decrease absenteeism, tardiness, attitude issues, employee turnover, crime, violence, low productivity, and beyond.
