Evaluate the integrity of employees and the authenticity of information. Online recruitment is very common now. How to verify information is something we should consider, so background check can help us.

The risks faced by enterprises in recruitment can be summarized into four categories: competence risk, legal risk, professional ethics risk and cost risk. Without necessary measures, these risks will be directly borne by the human resources department of the enterprise.

Market risk mainly comes from the difference between the quality of candidates and the requirements of enterprises. Internal risk is not only the possible cost loss and brand image risk caused by probation employees, but also the interests of employees, customers and shareholders in the enterprise. These risks are ultimately concentrated in the recruitment of human resources departments.

Background investigation helps enterprises to screen out applicants with false information, fully understand the quality and ability of job seekers, and help enterprises save costs and avoid employment risks.
