The $500K Resume That Almost Destroyed My Client

He thought this candidate was "a 12 on a scale of 1 to 10."

Then we ran the background check.

Multiple felony arrests.  Sexual predator.  DUI.  The list went on.

One simple background check - which my California client had never done before - saved him from a catastrophic hire that could have cost him everything.

The lesson:  There are two things that must happen before a new hire's first day.  A proper background check is one of them, and it’s non-negotiable.

Confirm the facts.  Every time.  Sometimes you'll discuss past issues and move forward.  But you need to know what you're dealing with.

Background checks aren't optional.  They're mandatory.
