Did you know that the basic criminal background check only involves a superficial run through the Social Security Number Trace that covers county level felony and misdemeanor charges?

This may not seem like a big deal, but consider this:

More than 2 million workplace assaults occur each year, most of which could be prevented with an in-depth background search.

Employers lose 79 percent of all negligent hiring suits, based on their failure to follow through with a complete criminal background check.

The average award to a plaintiff in negligent hiring lawsuits last year was 1.6 million dollars: that’s a big price to pay because you opted for a cheaper background check!

The basic background check involves statewide searches that are outdated and inaccurate, especially since only 33 states offer good access to a state level criminal records search.

A standard criminal background check will not uncover issues such as a poor or dangerous driving record, economic problems like multiple bankruptcy filings, and will do nothing to uncover false credentials.

Up to 40 percent of resumes contain false or exaggerated information, putting you at greater risk for negligent hiring liability.

This is why EBI offers in-depth background screening. Background screening does much more than cover "the basics," and EBI makes sure that your pre-employment screenings are complimented by a support system that will protect you and your company always -- not just when you pay for that superficial search.

EBI handles drug testing before and during employment, as well as a background search, driver’s record search, international records search, and much, much more. Remember, workplace violence is common and liability dangerous; let EBI protect you and your employees.
