In this clip from The Office, there is a rumor circulating that a sex predator is on the loose and has been stalking the women of the office. Dwight, the super-hero wannabe, decides to take matters into his own hands to find and punish the supposed predator.
Although this clip is humorous, hiring people who are unqualified or pose a threat to their fellow employees is no laughing matter. Businesses need to be aware of the precautions they can take during the hiring process to ensure that the most qualified and quality employees are being hired into their workforce.
Employee screening compliments interviews to give businesses the clearest picture of the candidates seeking employment. There are numerous ways to screen employees including background checks and various pre-hire assessments such as the Step One Survey II. Interviews and screening work together to give employers the best opportunity for selecting the most appropriate candidate for the job, using one without the other is an inadequate way to search for new employees. Those who don’t screen might want to consider the possibility that they could end up with serious problems due to lack of preparation.
