Pre-employment Screening

Billions of dollars are lost by businesses annually due to theft, turnover, training costs, fraudulent insurance claims, drug and alcohol abuse and negligent hiring lawsuits.

Did you know that:

Theft in the workplace costs employers in excess of $15 billion annually, with 30% of all business failures attributed to employee theft.
There are two million incidents of workplace violence annually, including more than 1,000 murders.
A bad hire who leaves a company within six months costs the company approximately $40,000 in severance pay, advertising, interviewing, training costs and loss of productivity.
Theft of proprietary information alone cost 186 companies $151 million in 2000.
The average employee embezzlement exceeds $125,000.
Thirty-three percent of job applications and resumes contain misrepresentations.
Nearly every state has a negligent hiring statute that recognizes an employer is responsible for checking the background and references of a job applicant and can be held financially and criminally liable for the actions of an employee.

Hiring right is a company's first and best defense against business abuse and potential disaster. It is well accepted that proper pre-employment screening is valuable in combating loss. Yet most companies do not have the personnel, resources or skills necessary to accomplish this task meaningfully. Especially in this climate of low unemployment, human resource departments must devote increasing time and energy to recruiting duties and other aspects of day-to-day operations. This is where Diogenes LLC can become your partner in the employee selection process.

Diogenes LLC has joined forces with Research Services LLC to provide the most comprehensive selection of screening products and services available. Employers now have the benefit of an established screening company with the resources of a nationally recognized investigative agency. The result is a pre-employment screening process that provides complete insight into your applicant’s employment, educational, criminal, financial, driving, and medical history.

Diogenes will design and implement a cost-effective background screening program for your company which can be tailored to consider level of employee and job responsibilities. Diogenes trained screening professionals have the expertise to legally access and efficiently evaluate detailed, factual, and often hard-to-obtain information to help your company manage the risks associated with the hiring process and make informed applicant decisions.
