The need for employee background checks is very well documented and yet 65% of Public Servants do not have an official clearance. However, we expect that most of private and non-profit organisations incorporate, at least at some level, an employee background check in their hiring process. Perhaps it is a Police check, or a credit check, mental health check, social media check, a resume check, a reference check or two and so on.
But there still are companies that shy away from checking the background of an employee, using a third-party group, because they think it may involve (a) a lot of money (b) no need as they trust the gut instincts of the hiring manager or (c) consider that there is not much business risk associated with an adverse hiring decision.
Response? (a) Less than a day’s wage is not a lot of money. (b) With so many hiring methods out there to use, gut feelings may be considered negligent. We also know applicants who hire interview coaches, teaching them smart sharp ways to answer questions and using positive impression management — but their lives and their backgrounds are unruly, risky and at the first sign of stress their mental health is in tatters, or worse. The level of sophistication now-a-days is so high and ‘issues’ are so well disguised that intuition may miss it. (c) The risk of a trusted insider doing something that puts your organisation into danger – be it reputational, financial or otherwise – can be a much greater than you have previously imagined. eg. a Notifiable Data Breach incident may cost you a $1.8 million fine from the Privacy Commissioner, under new legislation.
