Professional Background Screening NYC

Top Five Benefits of Professional Employment Screening

For more than two-thirds of U.S. employers, background checks have become an integral part of the hiring process. Today, nearly seven-in-ten employers conduct employment screening prior to hiring a job candidate. Only a small portion of those companies attempt to conduct these screenings on their own, largely due to cost, manpower needs, and the need to comply with existing legal requirements. As a result, most companies rely on professional employment screening to perform vital background checks on new hires. Here are five reasons why:

The Need to Focus on Core Competencies

By hiring professional employment screening experts, companies can keep their focus on core competencies. Human resources and hiring managers have enough to do without worrying about background checks. When they outsource that activity, they can better manage their time by dealing with other important concerns – like compensation, benefits, training, disciplinary activities, and so on.

Complex Compliance Concerns

There are rules governing background checks. For companies, conducting these checks requires familiarity with legal requirements – something that few companies have time to learn. Professional screening eliminates that learning curve, since those experts are already familiar with the laws governing access to background information.

Access to Resources and Tools

Professional investigators will have a well-developed system for accessing resources and getting the information you need. They know which questions to ask and which tools to use to obtain the right answers. That simplifies the process and enables their clients to conduct background checks with ease. All your company needs to do is select the right background check provider and let them know what you need. Then sit back and wait for them to deliver the information you’ve requested.

Experience and Expertise

Experience and expertise are crucial for any investigative service. When you rely on professionals, you can rest assured that their experience and competence will provide results that are appropriate for your needs. As with any investigation, background checks require a certain skill set that just cannot be developed overnight, so it just makes sense to trust the experts.

A Better Work Product

Finally, we come to the most important benefit and reason for relying on professional employment screening: the final work product. The background check that you rely on for your employment decision needs to be the best product possible. That means that it needs to answer the questions you’ve posed, and those answers need to be as accurate as possible. Sound hiring decisions should only be based on an honest appraisal of accurate information, to ensure that candidates are treated fairly and to protect your company’s interests.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
