Step One Survey (SOS II) Employee Survey
Before hiring, how much do you really know about an employee's integrity, substance abuse, reliability & work ethic?
Employee surveys reflect the harsh realities of your applicant pool:
56% of working people admit they have lied to their supervisors
41% say they have falsified records
64% admit using the Internet for personal reasons during working hours
35% have stolen from their employers, by their own admission
31% abuse drugs or alcohol
The Enemy Within
Recent industry estimates indicate that nearly 80% of computer crime is committed by “insiders,” at an estimated annual cost ranging from $100 million to as much as $1 billion. More than one-third of all companies declaring bankruptcy last year cited that they were "stolen out of business" by their employees.
Upper-Levels Pose Highest Risk
Employee theft and fraud averages about $2,000 per employee each year from your bottom line. While rank-and-file employees have opportunities to steal relatively small amounts, executives may embezzle tens of thousands – even millions of dollars from their employers. Could there be a better reason to hire people worthy of your trust?
What Questions Can You Ask?
Increasing lawsuits have made it extremely difficult, even illegal for you to ask important questions to determine the integrity of a job candidate. Past employers can be held liable for information they give you. If you choose to avoid hiring suspicious candidates, can you prove that you did not discriminate? In the absence of objective data, it is often impossible to demonstrate that your decision was made objectively, without regard to gender, race, age, etc.
Profiles International has an effective hiring tool that empowers employers.

Those two words have been devastating to many businesses — and they could cost you millions of dollars. Negligent hiring is the failure to check the backgrounds of job applicants before you hire them.
When a pizza deliveryman raped a customer, a jury awarded the victim $6 million of the parent company's money. The firm had failed to do a background check which might have disclosed the man's previous sex-offense record.
A trucking company was ordered to compensate a family when several family members were injured in an accident caused by one of its drivers. The amount awarded was many times what it would have been had the company checked the driver's record before hiring him.
Every day people with criminal records, falsified educational credentials, and other serious liabilities are hired by companies who fail to thoroughly check their backgrounds. The result can be acts leading to expensive negligent hiring lawsuits.
Knowing the backgrounds of the people you hire is absolutely essential because a business can be held liable for accidents and crimes committed by its employees.
To protect your company and minimize risk, get reliable background information about everyone you consider for employment.
Employee Background Check minimizes these problems with its services. You can verify the accuracy and/or completeness of information provided by job applicants — before hiring and training -- and thus reduce the costs incurred by high turnover and reduce your risk of liability.
