Employment screening is the process that employers use to evaluate potential candidates for a job. This typically includes checking a candidate's criminal history, employment history, and educational background to ensure they meet the qualifications for the position. The goal is to verify the information provided by the candidate and assess their suitability for the role. Additionally, employment screening may involve reference checks and credit checks, depending on the job's requirements. This process helps employers make informed hiring decisions and maintain a safe and productive workplace by identifying any potential risks associated with a candidate.
