I have learned that my former employer has, with only one day’s notice, announced background checks on all employees. Is management exempting itself? I’m still a shareholder. Maybe I should ask them.
The company has never had an HR department. A firm I’ve never heard of, Checkr, has been hired to conduct the background checks.
A quick check shows Checkr having a good reputation overall. But being right 9 out of 10 times isn’t good enough when someone’s livelihood is at stake.
Any Doug Pratt whose background check gets mixed up with DOuG pRATt is SOL!
I suppose that it makes good business sense, but it still makes me uneasy. I have nothing to worry about, but yes, 9/10 is not that great in this perspective. I sure hope that employer and checkr do a good job of handling the false hits that will inevitably occur.
