"Robert,

Jerry Albright replied to Robert's discussion 'Background Checks for Temp Candidates'"The nature of employment agreement/contract shouldn't change the necessity of knowing as much as you can about the person representing you at your client.

Robert replied to Robert's discussion 'Background Checks for Temp Candidates'"Hi Jerry,
Once a candidate is scheduled to start we do a criminal background check. I was more referring to "potential" candidates. I am with a corp-corp scenario (1099) for a consultant and I was considering running a background check on…"

Jerry Albright replied to Robert's discussion 'Background Checks for Temp Candidates'"I do checks on anyone/everyone I employ regardless of client policy. Who wouldn't? Why wouldn't you?

Amber replied to Robert's discussion 'Background Checks for Temp Candidates'"Robert - I guess you have to look at the cost of the checks vs. the cost of a candidate being at the point of getting a temp position being disqualified due to background check. We don't do temp, and we don't normally do background checks…"
"Hi Robert,
Once the company wants to hire a candidate, we then order the background and drug screen. We also have it so that the client is responsible for the fees associated with the screenings.
Hope this helps!"
"We take the same approach as you. If the company that is hiring requires a background be done; we do exactly as they do once a suitable candidate has been selected. With that, we make sure that the client knows we don't perform backgrounds…"
Valentino Martinez replied to Robert's discussion 'Background Checks for Temp Candidates'"Most formal (work history/police/driving) background checks are done after a contingent job offer has been extended and accepted. Contingent = passing a formal background check with approval of the job applicant; and passing a drug…"
Robert posted a discussionBackground Checks for Temp Candidates
I am wondering how many of you, who are third party recruiters, do background checks on temp candidates and if so at what point in the process. My approach is to mirror the policy of the company I am working with. If they do a check prior to an employee starting then I would as well. Some agencies say/claim that they perform checks on all their candidates but this doesn't make sense if I need to present 5 candidates to get one temp fill. RobertSee More
