Thus, some checks are needed in the employee recruitment process to avoid bad hires and minimize the risk. Some of the checks are criminal check and litigation check.<\/p>\n
Criminal check is a check on the candidates\u2019 criminal histories or records<\/a> in the police station based on the candidate\u2019s domicile or registered address. Meanwhile, a litigation check is a check on the candidate\u2019s criminal history, whether they have ever involved as a defendant or plaintiff in a district court based on the candidate\u2019s registered address and domicile.<\/p>\n What do the criminal and litigation checks tell the employers?<\/p>\n There are times when an interview and a serial of pre-employment checks do not reveal the candidates\u2019 criminal tendencies. The checks can reveal any false information contained in candidates\u2019 CVs or resumes and tell if the candidates have tendency to do criminal act. Primarily, if the position offered is tightly related to access of sensitive information or company\u2019s funds, running the checks is absolutely needed.<\/p>\n One of the cases we had once encountered was a case where a candidate attached a Police Clearance Report, which after being checked, turned out to be a false one – the expire date was forged. After running the further check, we unearth another unfavorable fact that the candidate was once arrested for attempting molestation.<\/p>\n Criminal and litigation checks ensure that only honest legitimate candidates with no criminal background or any litigation cases will have the chance to get hired. It is imperative for employers to invest more in running these checks otherwise there is a chance for a great loss in the future.<\/p>\n The analysis of criminal and litigation checks combined with other atomic checks provide companies the comprehensive candidates\u2019 background information. The more information that the company obtained, the less of the risk exposure.<\/p>\n For further information about criminal and litigation as well as other kinds of checks related to pre-employment screening, you can contact us contact@integrity-indonesia.com<\/a>\u00a0or visit our booth at HR Expo<\/a><\/strong> on December 12-13 2018 in JCC, Jakarta.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
