Candidate Screening

At PrimeStaff, we are committed to ensuring the safety and security of the organizations and individuals that we serve. Our comprehensive screening process has been designed to help protect our clients, candidates, and employees from workplace danger and dishonesty.

Hiring the right people is often the single biggest component of an organizations success or failure. The Wall Street Journal reports that on average at least half of all new hires “don't work out.” It also reports that 34 percent of all applications contain outright lies about experience, education and/or the ability to perform essential job functions.

The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that nearly 2 million violent crimes occur in the workplace each year.

The average award in a workplace violence lawsuit exceeds $1 million per case, according to the Workplace Violence Research Institute.

• Certainty Reduces Liability

  As businesses face increasing liability from both civil and criminal prosecution, insurance premiums and damaging negative publicity, the concern over liability is justified. The costs – in terms of money and reputation – are enough to cripple medium and large businesses, and can drive smaller organizations out of business altogether.

• Certainty Improves Stability

  High turnover rates, transient workers, and resume fraud are just a few of the factors that have made it much more difficult for businesses and human resource professionals to feel certain that they are hiring the right people for their companies. Particularly in turbulent economic times, organizations are looking to maintain stability in order to keep costs down and increase worker productivity.

• Certainty Enhances Security

  Businesses are more concerned than ever about the safety and security of their employees and business assets.

PrimeStaff's standard screening process includes:

• Wants and Warrants Check
