Abstract:: Making the right hiring decisions and reducing avoidable risk are two of the most crucial success metrics for employers. Both offer the potential to have immediate and lasting effects on a business.

This white paper: 1)Examines an emerging trend showing that, over the past several years, about 6 percent of all completed background checks performed annually by ADP revealed a criminal record; 2) Demonstrates why employers place themselves -- and their workplace -- at greater risk by handling pre-employment screening tasks with manual processes, tools, and methods; and 3) Shows how automated pre-employment background screening can help employers mitigate the risk of making a bad hire.

With background checks performed by ADP revealing criminal records consistently each year for about 6 % of all job applicants screened, is it a good business risk or simply a bad gamble to "take a pass" on pre-hire screening that can bring to light a criminal past?
