AAIM Employers' Association Background Verification Services can help you replace question marks and guesswork with accurate background data and well-reasoned, confident decisions.

Practical Tips for Employers:

• Conduct a thorough background check both pre-employment and as part of the investigation of any harassment or discrimination complaints concerning current employees.
• Make sure your background check release permits you to conduct background checks throughout employment and releases your company, your vendor, and sources of information from potential liability.
•  Include an inquiry into disciplinary records on your background checks.
•  Follow-up on background checks with an additional inquiry into misconduct if it is omitted from the original employment verification, especially with applicants for positions that require a measure of trust, such as, police, security guards, nurses, and management.
• Review all background check results immediately upon receipt for any negative information that is related to the person’s position and take prompt, appropriate corrective action.
