Results Of HireRight's Background Check Survey

HireRight conducted a study in which they surveyed 1,411 employers of all sizes from more than 15 industries.

They found that:

• 93 percent of employers report that they run criminality checks, up from 85 percent in 2008.
• 84 percent of employers conduct comprehensive screening before the first day of work; 8 percent screen immediately after the start.
• 10 percent of employers report that screening adversely affects the hiring decision in a staggering 50 percent or more of the cases.
• 71 percent of employers report that their organization conducts screening to "reduce risk to the organization"; 68 percent say the purpose is to "ensure a safer workplace."
• Employee screening used to happen more commonly in certain industries, but the practice is becoming more widespread across industries.
