Excerpts of an Article in Crains Cleveland Business – March 2008
Background checks are becoming a more standard practice among companies of all sizes considering new employees, according to executives in the screening business.
Weeding out the bad seed
Although employment screening services used to be conducted mostly for larger companies, smaller firms are getting into the game. Small businesses, screening firms said, are becoming more aware of the dangers of not checking up on
potential employees, especially given the harm one bad seed could do to a modest organization. Indeed, digging into someone’s past can save a company the time, money and embarrassment of hiring a bad employee or one who is being less than honest.
Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO) is the fastest growing subset of the wide-ranging Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sector. Most companies consider the use of an HRO provider as a way to cut costs. The general thought is that any business function that does not focus on improving the bottom line, can be outsourced. Businesses today want their expenses to directly impact their core business processes.

For CrimCheck’s Ted Moss, it was the leap onto the Internet that revolutionized his business plan, and he hasn’t looked back since. “Almost all of our growth has been from Internet growth,” says Moss, the company’s founder and president. “We’ve really evolved and changed dramatically from where we started.”
In 1991, Moss began CrimCheck to provide investigative and security consulting services to businesses. With the help of his brother, a basement phone line and $100, Moss got out his name by making cold calls to area companies, slowly but surely building a sizable company.

Mr. Yachanin expresses the opinion that “our country was founded on principles of freedom and liberty, and law–abiding citizens should be able to choose to be anonymous in as many aspects of their lives as they see fit.”

Prevent Shrink, Increase Profits: the Impact of Responsible Hiring on Retail Shrink
With retail shrink sucking a whopping $31 billion dollars or more out of retail profits annually, finding effective ways to combat shrink in the retail environment is one of the best ways to increase a business’s profitability. And although shoplifting is the most recognizable form of retail shrink, it is not the most costly—not by far; individuals within an organization account for much higher levels of retail shrink.Three out of the top four sources of retail shrink come from either employees or vendors. Administrative error alone accounts for up to 15% of shrink; vendor fraud, most often committed by vendors invited into the store for purposes of restocking, constitutes the smallest percentage of shrink (within the top four), but still ranks high on the list.
