Compliance in Background Screening Processes: A Necessity for Modern Enterprises in 2023

Compliance in Background Screening Processes: In the US, 1 in 3 citizens have a criminal record – and the vast majority of companies conduct background checks to ensure their potential hires are not among them. Yet not all companies nor screening vendors fully comply with the laws governing compliance in background screening processes. In today’s litigious society, companies must strictly adhere to compliance requirements when conducting background checks. Non-compliance can lead to severe consequences such as lawsuits, fines, and damage to a company’s reputation; candidates can be unfairly dismissed or discounted.
