Background:
A forward-thinking company encountered a costly setback after hiring a candidate whose background raised several concerns.
Despite an impressive resume, discrepancies emerged: irregular patterns in FMLA usage, conflicting personal documentation, and an anonymous tip hinting at prior legal issues and multiple identities.
Challenge:
The candidate’s claim of an inner thigh injury—an uncommon occurrence in the industry—did not align with the rest of his employment history.
This mismatch signaled that crucial red flags might be hiding behind a seemingly flawless profile, highlighting the gap left by conventional hiring checks.
Approach:
To mitigate such risks, the company integrated an online integrity test into their hiring process.
This quick, under-10-minute screening tool is designed to detect behaviors and inconsistencies that traditional background checks might overlook.
In this case, the test would have flagged the candidate’s past issues at an early stage.
Outcome:
By adopting the integrity screening tool, the company refined its hiring strategy, leading to:
- Improved candidate vetting
- A significant reduction in potential workers’ compensation claims
- Lower turnover rates, contributing to long-term cost savings
Key Takeaways From the Integrity Screening:
- Proactive Screening: Early detection of risky behaviors can prevent costly hiring mistakes.
- Attention to Detail: Inconsistencies in a candidate’s story should prompt further investigation.
- Cost Efficiency: A simple, effective tool can enhance your hiring process and save both time and money.
Conclusion:
This case study illustrates that integrating an integrity test into your hiring process not only strengthens workforce quality but also safeguards your company’s operational and financial health.
By catching potential red flags early, you ensure that only candidates aligned with your company’s values and risk profile join your team.
