Background Checks
Hiring a new employee or tenant is a big investment, with the ultimate goal of a long-term relationship.
Unfortunately, not all relationships work out. Sometimes, the mistake is quickly realized and the association ends with no harm done. Other times, jobs are failed, businesses negatively impacted, and serious problems arise. Either way, the time and effort to rehire for the role must be repeated.
The same rules apply for a tenant. Current landlord-tenant laws favor the tenant, and destruction caused to the property by a bad choice in a tenant could take years to recover.
Background checks prior to accepting tenants or making employment offers lower the odds of mistakes by revealing hidden details or dishonesty. They also assure your company only invests in employees of principle and tenants with integrity.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Background checks may include criminal record searches, credit checks, and reference checks, as well as verifying resume details. A pre-employment background may also be expanded by contacting previous employers, personal references, and reviewing social media accounts. This ensures transparency in the hiring process. Determining a person’s past assists an employer or landlord in making an informed decision.
Thoroughly vetting applicants increases confidence in choosing the correct person for a job or tenancy.
