Employee Background Screening
|
|
If you find yourself asking, "What makes one background screening company different from another?" The answer is quite simple.
All reputable background screening companies get their information from the same sources. Those of us not simply matching a name against a database are sending court runners to the courthouses to secure information. What then, separates one from the others?
At Profiles International, our customers are not merely a number - they are a valuable relationship. Companies have unique needs and deserve a unique security solution.

| If you are looking for more than just a service, here are a few questions to which we will always be able to answer, "YES": |
- Can we be paperless? If so, can you integrate with our internal HR -software/intranet?
- Can we fax in orders?
- Can you only do a preset number of counties? and then ask for instruction?
- Can you handle specialized invoicing for cost centers, etc?
- Can I expect an average of 72 hours or less for turn around time?
- Can you help me globally?
- Can you set up different order pages for different levels of employees that lead to different kinds of screens so that my down-line managers don't have to think about what to order?
- In the situation above can you have the 'non-clear' results automatically sent to me and only pending or clear results shared with my managers?
- Can a new customer be doing all of these things by this time tomorrow?

Given the opportunity, we will always be competitive on price; however, we believe that competing on price is just a small step towards our true primary goal: of maintaining a long term relationship in which Profiles International can come to understand and fulfill your exact needs.
This is how we've been successful in the past - how we will remain successful in the future. |

A national organization of fraud examiners estimates the average loss to business from employee fraud and theft at $9 per employee, per day. That amounts to about $2,000 per employee. Employees steal in many ways. While some take money and property, other forms of employee theft may take more subtle forms such as wasting time, taking unauthorized time off, Internet surfing, or punching a time clock for another employee.

| Profiles International recommends employee background checks as one means of minimizing the dishonesty and employee theft problem. |

- Inflated titles
- Inaccurate dates to cover up job hopping or gaps of employment
- Unfinished degrees, inflated education or "purchased" degrees that do not mean anything
- Inflated salaries
- Inflated accomplishments
- Out and out lies in regards to specific roles and duties

Employee Theft of Sensitive Data
|
| |
|
With the huge advancement in technology over recent years, data theft is the new 'invisible' crime, and poses a real threat to all businesses. Because employees have access to vast amounts of data, that sensitive data is vulnerable in the hands of a dishonest employee. There are two main forms of data theft, the first with the intention of stealing someone's identity, and the second, the theft of information.
According to an article by the Sydney Morning Herald (2/18/2004), two-thirds of British professionals admit stealing commercially sensitive documents and data when they leave a company.

Among white-collar workers, 69.6 percent said they had taken some form of intellectual property from their employers when they left, the survey for ibas, a computer forensics specialist, found. Email address books, sales proposals and presentations, customer databases and contact details were the most common kinds of data taken. Ibas said businesses might be losing commercially sensitive information worth billions of dollars. "It's happening in all businesses and through all levels of the company, from lowly admin staff right up to senior board level".
