Background Checks. When Governments are Hiring.

As we go through the hiring process at BidPrime, we do our due diligence to ensure we hire only the most qualified candidates. This protocol includes partnering with a vendor to execute background checks on prospective employees. As with your business, the pre-screening phase is paramount in ensuring we add precisely the right people to our team.

Due to the services provided by the public sector, in addition to expectations of the citizenry, this step is also essential to prudent and thorough hiring by governments. Over the past year, governments in the United States and Canada have submitted 1,632 requests for background check and comparable services and solutions.

Again, by virtue of the nature of their functions, requests by governments often go beyond simple background checks that would be appropriate for most private sector businesses and organizations. As a matter of fact, public sector agencies secure relevant services and solutions to manage personnel ahead of and during their employment. See this infographic for details.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) spells out what employers need to know in terms of background checks. Go to their website to read their report to understand what the EEOC, along with the Federal Trade Commission, recommend in regards to background checks. You will find some useful information before starting, or continuing, a background check program.

See this infographic for data on public sector requests for background checks and related services/solutions.
