Both parties are content with the results, and the\u00a0candidate is expecting an offer from the company. HR did a procedural background\u00a0check, found the candidate wasn\u2019t being truthful about his last job, and he was let go\u00a0because of a fraud. By conducting a background check the HR avoids hiring someone\u00a0who is quite likely to be a re-offender.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">84% of employers have found a lie or misrepresentation in a candidate\u00b4s resume or job\u00a0application. Doing a background check on candidates before making an offer or hiring\u00a0improves the security of a company; reduces long-term costs by avoiding layoffs,\u00a0rehiring and training.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">Although the interview process is a decisive factor in the selection of the candidate, the\u00a0background and job references play a very important role, so much so that a hiring may\u00a0fall due to not being truthful and consistent with the information provided by the\u00a0candidate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">Thanks to the use of ICT, <a href=\"hhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/kilpatrick\/\">LinkedIn<\/a> and other social media, the human resources\u00a0departments of companies can verify information on the profile of their candidates. But\u00a0the problem still persists, it is time consuming and costly to do it inhouse.\u00a0Experts warn that six out of 10 employers have rejected a candidate for a bad job.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">Check it Easy provides easy to use, fast and reliable background checks, among the\u00a0main benefits of doing a validation, Check It Easy also offers a range of comprehensive\u00a0background checks on the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">Identity<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">Education<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Job<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Compensation<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Social media<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Direction<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0References<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Criminal Background<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456;\">\u00a0Credit bureau<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-family: Open sans; font-size: 16px !important; color: #3e4456; padding-top:20px;\">Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/checkiteasy.com\/\">Check it Easy<\/a> and to see how we can help you to fasten the\u00a0background checks process, connect with us on <a href=\"hhttps:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/kilpatrick\/\">LinkedIn<\/a>, visit our website or <a href=\"https:\/\/calendly.com\/checkiteasy\/30min?month=2021-04\">schedule a demo today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine this, a candidate just completed a 30 minutes-interview with the HR\u00a0department for a new position.
