Solution
How would you do a complete background investigation on applicants to minimize
concerns about negligent hiring?
In order to avoid negligent hiring, it is important that a company conducts a complete
background investigation on applicants. This involves six verification processes.
- Education Verification
Education verification includes checking of the certification, training, degree or educational
claims by the job applicant. The verification of education background helps to determine the
following problems - lying about academic degree, omitting or adjusting graduation dates and
altering marks obtained or the grades.
- Reference Verification
Reference verification includes checking of factual information of the potential recruit about his
or her dates and places of work, designation held and roles and responsibility assigned. It is an
important tool to understand the candidates past and gather information about his or her strength
or weakness.
- Criminal records check
With the increasing rate of crime, number of defaulters and rate of frauds are increasing. A
criminal investigation records refers to the information collected and gathers in relation to the
different criminal cases.
- Address Verification
Address verification includes physical address as well as digital address. The addresses also help
the organization to track the candidates in cases of absenteeism, disciplinary issues, or any
violations.
- Social media scan
As a part of employee verification, Social Media scan is the background check of the prospective
candidates to be recruited with the help of internet and web technology. These searches includes
different social media and business networking sites, photo/video sharing sites, micro blogging
sites, blog sites, and other web sites which may reveal any information that could be potentially
negative (Swallow, 2011).
