Business Security Information

As a business owner, you must sometimes ask yourself this question when talking to an employee and maybe at times when talking with a customer.  How can you know if you should investigate further or if you should trust that gut feeling you get sometimes?  Well, Carolyn Finch recently had an article in CSO (Chief Security Officer) magazine covering body language and how to use it when looking for signs that someone is lying.

Why Background Checks?

As of today, the economy is still in a recession, and anytime there is a downturn in the economy it can affect the honesty of those in your hiring pool. In other words, those seeking a position may exaggerate their qualifications and experience or neglect to report previous criminal records or disciplinary action. Usually during times like these the number of potential candidates for a position increases allowing you to be more selective, but the need to weed out unwanted candidates is also greater. A background check is one tool that can assist you in the selection process.
