FIVE REASONS TO NEVER RUN AN EMPLOYEE BACKGROUND CHECK
You don’t need to know who you hire!
I don’t know why managers and owners think they need to run an employee background check! I mean, it’s not like people lie during an interview. All you have to do is ask if they have ever committed any crimes, and legally they have to tell you the truth. Furthermore, I’ve never met anyone who has lied to me about something so important. I’ve hired hundreds of people and not a single one has ever stolen THAT much from me. I mean, come on, what’s a few thousand dollars amongst friends?
Managers always have psychic abilities.
Part of being a manager is to pass a psychic exam; not to be confused with a physiological exam, which would disqualify about half… but our mental state is not in question right now. Why should you waste time and effort in a pre-employment screening when you have managers that can predict the future with complete certainty? All of my managers carry mini crystal balls, which you can go get from the Wal-Mart now; they’re real fancy, not like those fake crystal balls from the infomercials. The point is that there’s absolutely no need for you to worry about anything. You’re mangers have your back on this one, there’s no need to fret over employee background checks.
You can afford a little shrink now and then.
Seriously, what’s it matter if you lose a few bucks here and there. Maybe you should pay your employees more if they’re always stealing from you. That’s all an employee background check is going to tell you, anyway! It’ll just show all the low-down places that poor guy or girl had to steal from just to make ends meet before landing on your doorstep! Cut them some slack, will ya!
Customers aren’t really that important.
Sure, they give you money, keep you and your employees paid and are essentially your business’s life blood, but other than that they can just be a down-right annoyance! If you use a pre-employee screening you might only hire people that care about the customers. That mean that all those rude customers who want you to wait on them hand and foot will just keeping coming back. How are you supposed to work under those conditions!
Why waste time building a culture of honesty?
The only thing a pre-employment screening will do for your business is to help foster a culture of honesty, integrity and hard work that pays off. Why on Earth would any business want that? I don’t want the same employees hanging around for years, as I’m pretty sure they’d end up stealing way too much. Turnover is good for a business, no matter what those so called “experts” say. Forego the employee background check process I say. Hiring should be like a box of chocolates (who doesn’t love chocolates?)!!
