Conducting pre-employment screenings on your applicants is a very effective method of not only hiring the right person for the position available, but to ensure this person will not potentially harm anyone around them as well. Unfortunately even someone with a completely clean criminal background check can turn and harm those around them. There is no way to know just when this can happen and to whom. But as an employer you can rest assured you are covered from any negligence lawsuit if you conducted a thorough background check before the hiring of the individual.
