You would expect to receive certain benefits from screening applicants for employment, such as being able to know a resume is accurate, or that you aren’t hiring someone with a criminal background. By actually saying in your employment advertising that you use background screening, you also receive another benefit. Most people who have a criminal background won’t even apply for the job, and all applicants are much more likely to provide a complete and truthful application or resume. You’ll save time and money in the hiring process, before you even begin reviewing applications.
