The difference between background screening and employment testing is noticeable. Yet, the reason for screening before hiring a person or test someone already employed is the same: trust.
Your staff touches the heart of your organization. The greater the employee responsibility, the greater the risk you take if you are not sure you can trust someone.
Clearly, you check what online activities you can find out about the applicant. But can you also check the projected life against reality? Does your potential employee have exactly the management experience he claims? An internal promotion can also be a reason to screen a person. For example, when an employee has to deal with substantially large budgets, joins a department with less supervision or moves to a branch abroad.
There is no need to be secretive about a staff screening. The assurance that your trust is in good hands will give you peace of mind.

Outsourcing of background screening offers advantages
A pre-employment background screening sends a signal to an applicant and says something about your commitment to and respect for your current staff.
