Pre Employment Background Checklist

The Pre Employment Background Checklist is a tool used to evaluate the background of potential employees. It typically contains a variety of items including a criminal background check, credit history, reference checks, employment history, education verification, and drug testing. This helps employers make well informed decisions about hiring the best candidate for the job. The Pre Employment Background Checklist helps ensure that employers are not hiring candidates with potentially disqualifying issues and that the candidate is a good fit for the job. It also helps reduce the risk of legal action in the future.
