Let An Applicant Management Center Uncover Hidden Problems For You.
Pre-employment screening can assist store owners in identifying hidden problems that could cause major problems for a business down the road. I thought about this today as I am getting a used car my son purchased fixed up for him. My mechanic had located this car, gave it a test drive and told me that for the $900 we would pay for it we would be getting a great deal. There were a few concerns with how it was idling but he believed for another $500 he could get it running smoothly. $1400 for a car that would get my son to his new job for a couple of years is a bargain, no car payments to make. I purchased parts the mechanic said would be needed and delivered them to him. Later in the afternoon I got a call that there may be a different issue to fix. As he had dug into the engine he found that someone had done some home-made repairs that were possibly the cause of the symptoms he had thought were causing the rough idling. I had to spend another $170 on additional parts (I am waiting to see if these parts fix the issue and I can return the other parts I bought). The thing about this is hidden problems were masked until the mechanic dug into the motor to identify where the true fix needed to be made. I may be paying a few hundred additional dollars and I should have a reliable vehicle. Store owners that hire someone with a checkered past may pay a much higher price for those underlying issues. An applicant management center can help prevent hiring mistakes.
Loss Prevention Systems, Inc. (LPSI) can be your car mechanic so to speak. They can conduct pre-employment screening for employers that truly look past the surface information of an applicant to uncover information that could be hidden from you. Is an applicant lying about a criminal past or a job history? Maybe the job you need filled requires a certain level of educational there are applicants who will falsify applications for a shot at that job. LPSI can verify whether a candidate has the degree or education they claim. What would the potential ramifications be if you hired a person who is on the national sex offender registry and you were not aware of it? Yes, it is possible the employee would behave while working around other employees and your customers. But what is going to happen to YOUR business and YOUR reputation if you don’t bother with a background check and YOUR employee does assault someone? Even if they don’t do the offense while on the clock there is a strong possibility social media will get the word out on where that person works and lives. What will your other employees think? An applicant management center can help keep your business and reputation safe.
Lest you think the only service provided by an applicant management center is conducting background checks store owners should also be aware that there is much more available to them. Want to make sure you run a drug-free workplace? LPSI also offers drug screening for business owners. Have you ever wished you could organize your hiring process including files into one central location without dealing with mounds of paperwork? They can do that for you as well. Bill Bregar who is the Chief Executive Officer of LPSI has drawn from his background as a Loss Prevention Director for national chain stores and his experiences of running his own business to help other business owners. He knows the risks associated with hiring the wrong people and he is in tune with how to run profitable stores. That is why his company offers the applicant management center to ensure retailers can be profitable through better hiring.
