There are several good reasons why so many companies hire a third party to perform
the pre-employment screenings on their potential employees even though they have
the capability to do the task in house. Of course a third party running background
checks will be an unbiased insight into your applicant and this is extremely valuable in evaluating your applicants.
But the top reason of course for using an independent firm is the legal immunity that is provided by an independent firm.
The unbiased report from a independent third party can benefit you greatly if there is ever any litigation based upon the
individual who was applying for the job with your company.
