Xukor Pre-Employment Screening Solutions:
Xukor offers a wide range of pre-employment background check services and packages to meet the needs of all of our clients. We are a “one-stop-shop” for performing background investigations for both current and potential employees. Services can be performed on an individual basis or combined for a custom solution designed specifically to meet your needs.
If your company policy allows an employee who has been convicted of any felony or misdemeanor to work for your organization, the employee must report in advance any and all felony and misdemeanor convictions to the Human Resource Department. It is your responsibility to review the nature of the crime(s) and the function(s) the individual may be performing and make the final determination.
You need more than “Point and Click”
Have you been approached by firms that promise amazingly fast turnaround by using internet-based databases? If so, use caution. These types of screening firms typically rely on third-party databases to conduct criminal history checks in a hurry. These databases often contain outdated, incomplete and inaccurate information. So called “point-and-click” investigation firms typically consist of individuals who are data-proficient but knowledge-poor. If report results are questionable, they may have no idea of what to recommend to your company.
For example, if a candidate has a criminal record, a data search could reveal the arrest, but if the investigator who compiled the information does not delve further into the public records to determine if the candidate was acquitted or the charges were dropped then an injustice has taken place. Xukor will always verify any negative information obtained from database searches against the actual public records filed at the courthouse
All background investigations are conducted in compliance with federal, state and local laws. The employer must have written consent of the candidate (signature) to obtain any background investigation or investigative report(s). Reports on candidates will be requested only by the subscriber's designated representative. Employees will be forbidden to attempt to obtain reports on themselves, associates, or any other person except in the exercise of their official duties.
