If you are looking for a company that understands how to
provide professional background checks, you have come to
the right place.
One of the most important decisions a company makes is WHO
they choose to do a background check for employment screening
purposes.
In today's litigious world where a
negligent hiring lawsuit can cost your company $500,000
... any good Human Resources manager
knows there is no room for error in hiring policy
and that includes your employment screening
vendor.
That's where an APSCREEN
Background Check comes in.
|
"No other company compares to
APSCREEN. They were the first and are still the
best. Their customer service is superior and their
background screeners are expertly trained. You get
a thorough job done in a forward-compliant environment,
and that is a must when it comes to hiring people
in today's workplace environment. "

When you work with us, you get direct
access to the man who many consider to be the individual
who started the factual employment screening industry back
in 1980. Tom Lawson
(our Founder), is widely called upon by attorneys across
the United States to testify as one of the first court-certified
Expert Witness for Negligent
Hiring.
Consider this:
what if you had the guy on your team who sits in court on
a regular basis and testifies in the kinds of cases that
could very easily be brought against your company in the
future? What kind of value do you think that would bring
to the relationship?
What if this knowledge meant saving your company hundreds
of thousands of dollars in legal fees or better yet, preventing
a lawsuit in the first place? Even if you are a multi-million
billion, multi-national enterprise, nobody wants to shell
out that kind of scratch to lawyers and plaintiffs. And,
if you are a small company, one of these lawsuits can put
you out of business
in no time.
Chances are good that lawsuits can be avoided if you have
experts on your team who know what they are doing
when it comes to running a complete and thorough
background check, especially a criminal
background check.
Some might say, "that's a bunch of garbage, lots of companies
can run a background check."

"We
have found dozens of potential candidates for employment
that we felt would have been a quality hire.
That
was until we ran a background check through
APSCREEN, only to discover they
had criminal records. We are still using
APSCREEN today."

OK, let's talk about that for a minute.
For over 29 years, we have
seen the industry's growth proliferate in many directions.
And, in the last 10 years, there has been an onslaught
of online database companies, as well as some pretty gigantic
players, masquerading as professional employment screeners.
Caveat emptor is the best advice we can offer you
when choosing an employment screening company
to work with today.
A case in point ... Mr. Lawson recently reviewed a potential
expert witness lawsuit where an erroneous record was reported
(in fact not the candidate's record) which resulted in a
lost opportunity for an innocent candidate ... as well as
a BIG lawsuit for both the hiring and
background check companies.
You don't want to let your company get into the situation!
And APSCREEN won't let
you. When it comes to verifying data, APSCREEN's philosophy
is simple:
We do WHATEVER it takes!
We are NEVER satisfied until we ABSOLUTELY
determine, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that a discovered
file belongs to a specific candidate. This is not an area
where we can afford to be reserved.
The truth is that it doesn't matter if you are a seasoned
buyer of background checks, or a small company
still not convinced that you really need to screen your
employees ... the best place to buy a background check
for preemployment or employment screening is from
a company with longevity and the most critical factor
- experience in this industry.
But, is APSCREEN
the right choice for your company?
|
"APSCREEN
gets the results quickly and everyone that we've
dealt with since 1997 has been very courteous and
professional.
We wouldn't use any
other company for background checks and highly recommend
them."
Phyllis Crofford

Maybe yes, maybe no.
Before we even address that issue, let's straighten out
just what your choices in this industry are:
# 1 - Buy a background check from a company
that has some history in the field and understands what
information goes into a professional background check
and how to do it properly,
# 2 - Buy the name-brand background check
product with its confusing bells and whistles that distract
from the beneficial research process and trust that they
don't cut corners, or;
# 3 - Go online and buy cheap units and take your chances.
It's that simple.
Believe me; we hear the same question every day … “Why do
we need you when we can buy a criminal background online
for $10?”
Here's the thing - if you think that buying public records
from an online database is enough to protect your company
from negligent hiring lawsuits, then we probably can't help
you.
But when you know that your company needs to outsource a
service that is not only going to streamline your HR processes
saving you significant amounts of
time and money by directly reducing turnover, as
well as protect you from litigation in a world that is more
than happy to sue you for the slightest infraction, then
what do you do?
You go to an expert - that's what you do.
