How should we go about checking up on applicants?

How should we go about checking up on applicants?

Either on the application form or in your initial interview, always ask applicants whether they've ever been convicted of a crime. If they answer "yes," be sure to follow up to find out the circumstances. Always call all references listed by the applicant. Surprisingly few employers do that, and it's an easy way to catch an applicant in a lie — or find out something about his history that you need to know.

It's also a very simple matter to call or go online to check for an applicant's name if your state has a sex offender registry. You should definitely take that step if the applicant will be working with children or have access to customers' homes or other circumstances arise that lead you to believe you might have a heightened duty to protect your customers.

You don't need to inform the applicant of any snooping around that you do on your own, and you're free to refuse to hire him based on what you find out — without telling him why. But be careful to act consistently with all applicants. Otherwise, you'll open yourself up to discrimination claims.
