Does screening delay hiring?
With the sophisticated computer technology that is available today the time frame for completing most reports is generally no longer than 3 days. With the use of huge proprietary criminal databases the reports are instantaneous. Delays, however, can occasionally occur due to unforeseen circumstances such as calls not being returned or records not being readily available. Forms are also available allowing an applicant to be hired with the understanding that if the background check shows a valid negative reason against the applicant that the applicant can at that time be terminated.
