One of the most important decisions a company can make is
WHO they choose to do their background checks.
In today's litigious world where a negligent hiring lawsuit can
quickly become a $500,000 blow to your company ... any good
Human Resources manager knows there is no room for error in
hiring policy. Especially when it comes to the company that
screens your potential employment applicants.

"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. "

That's where
APSCREEN
comes in.
When you work with us, you get direct access to the man who many
consider 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 Witnesses 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.

"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."

Detractors might say, "that's a bunch of garbage, lots of
companies can run a background check."
Let's talk about that.
For over 28 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.
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.
Don't let your company get into the situation!
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.
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 background checks for pre-employment or
employment screening is from a company with longevity
and critical 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 background checks 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 criminal reports for $10 online?”
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.
