A Company's success is highly contingent on the quality of staff it retains. A team of honest, hard-working employees can make all the difference in today's competitive business market.

On the same note, a bad hire can cost a company thousands of dollars in loss of profits due to theft, work-related injuries, poor customer service, absenteeism and costly litigation. Regardless of the job being filled, hiring an applicant on good faith alone can ultimately result in problems which could have been identified through a process of "investigative screening". In addition, some companies are at higher risk than others due to value of inventory, access to customers, stress levels, etc.

Submit a Pre-employment Screening Request

A properly implemented pre-employment screening program can assist in protecting your company from:

  • Loss of profits, revenue and talented employees due to excessive turn-over rates
  • Loss of profits due to internal theft
  • Loss of profits due to excessive work-related injuries
  • Lack of employee morale
  • Loss of profits due to poor customer service

"The best insurance against negligent hiring claims is the implementation of an extensive pre-employment screening program which utilizes an investigative process of collection, dissemination, and reporting of information pertaining to the applicant."

Unfortunately, in today's business world, workplace violence and harassment has placed employers in a precarious position to be sued for "negligent hiring". Negligent hiring lawsuits can result in multi-million dollar awards. One lawsuit alone can cost more than a lifetime of background checks, and the benefits of pre-employment screening extend far beyond simply avoiding negligent hiring suits.

Philosophy to Pre-employment Screening

When utilized as a risk management tool, our employee screening process will limit your company's exposure to misconduct, ensure that your hires meet performance expectations, prevent losses through fraudulent activity and contribute to a healthy work environment.

Recognizing that employment positions vary in required skills, education and responsibility, we believe that the level of a pre-employment screening should be consistent with the position being filled to ensure that the applicant is suitable for employment and consistent with your corporate aims, objectives, and general employee compliment.

Because all companies differ in their requirements regarding the employee hiring process, it is our philosophy that each of our clients should have a "pre-employment screening" program which directly reflects their specific needs.

"By working together with your Human Resource department, The Renwick Group Inc. is able to create a pre-employment screening program which is dedicated and consistent with your requirements and corporate goals".

By outsourcing pre-employment screening services, Human Resource professionals are relieved of many time-consuming and specialized tasks, and are better able to devote time and resources to the function of managing people and the delivery of vital HR services to their employees.

The Renwick Group Inc. utilizes a methodical investigative approach to pre-employment screening. This process consists of the development, collection, and analysis of all material information relating to the new applicant.

Job seekers realize that their resume is a "sales tool" which will determine whether they will proceed further in the hiring process, such as receiving an interview with your Human Resource department. As such, it has become common practice for new applicants to embellish their resumes by creating or concealing previous work histories. This practice must be considered a risk factor when considering an applicant for employment with your company.

"We present you with the necessary information to make an informed decision regarding an applicant's suitability for employment with your company."

Descriptions of our Examination Profiles

Information relating to the applicant is acquired through accessing public records and investigative-style interviewing of former employers and personal references. This information is then assessed and analyzed to construct an accurate and impartial applicant profile. Our verification resources extend to include all Canadian provinces. Additionally, our network of industry contacts allows us access to resources on an international level.

  • Applicant identity verification
  • Education and credential confirmation
  • Character and reputation
  • Current and past financial position
  • Employment experience substantiation
  • Reference consultations - employer and personal

"A proper applicant screening process can save an employer a tremendous amount of time, money, training, and hassle in the future."

Reporting Process

We tailor our programs and reports to your precise needs. If you want a report placed in each employee's file, we will send you individual reports. Other special needs or requirements can be accommodated as well. Our program will integrate with your process. Although communication is typically electronic, we can set up a reporting format specific to your needs; such as verbal confirmations, faxed reports, emailed reports, mailed reports, etc. Our reports can be transmitted in various word processing formats including: Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, Adobe PDF. Also, all the aforementioned formats can be encrypted for enhanced security protocols.

Time Service

We understand your needs and the difficulties you face in hiring and retaining a qualified staff. Competition for key talent and resources requires that the pre-employment screening process be completed in a timely, efficient, and cost-effective manner. For this reason, we are committed to reporting of requests within 24 hours of receiving the assignment. Please note, this timeframe is dependant upon availability of reference contacts. Special requests can be handled on a rush basis when required.

Fee Structure

This is dependent on the services you request with your program. There is no setup fee and no hidden monthly charge. Whether you need to verify the background of one applicant or hundreds, the price is always clear. Since our service is menu-driven, we are able to customize a program to meet your needs and can award you volume discounts for batch requests or predictable monthly volumes.
