7 Literary Reasons to Perform Background Checks
MS Free Images
Can you imagine how many books could have been spoiled if
the characters in them ran background checks? Of course, writers want to keep
the reader in suspense and entertained. However, a background check could have
saved a lot of grief to the main character of the book. There are many stories
that involve an employee who winds up being a serial killer and a background
check could have saved the lives of everyone in the establishment. Because the
character decided not to conduct a check, the blood of the coworkers is on his
or her hands as well. Although this is just fictional entertainment, it is a
possibility that many don't consider.
1. Crowded Places - Although everyone should deserve a second chance to redeem
him or herself, some people deny themselves the benefits of rehabilitation. In
order to keep yourself and those close to you safe, you need to know if this
new person isn't literally hiding skeletons in his or her closet.
2. Teller of Tales - You wouldn't hand the keys to your bank to Ma Barker and
her sons. However, you could be doing just that if you don't know the person
you just hired to work for you. You shouldn't profile people, but there are
some that shouldn't be employed for certain tasks.
3. Flame Broiled - Hiring someone like David Berkowitz to head up that new
office of a firework distribution center would seem like a very bad idea.
Without a background check to see if you just hired a pyro or not, your new
office could go up in flames. Although the Son of Sam was renowned for his
serial killer ways, it started with arson.
4. Baby-sitting Problems - For those who operate a day-care facility for
children, having a resume cross your desk from the likes of James Hook could be
cause for alarm. Although you're not in Neverland, it is a good possibility you
could hire a like-minded individual without performing a background check.
5. Physical Therapy - Physical rehabilitation is an important procedure in the
healing process of those suffering from ailments or accidents. Would your
client feel comfortable if Dr. Henry Jekyll was involved in his or her
treatment?
6. A Dining Experience - It's not often that you'll see the world renowned cook
Hannibal Lecter serving up his specialty dish. A background check could remedy
extremely embarrassing circumstances that could destroy your restaurant
catering business.
7. Animal Dry-cleaning - A pound is an excellent place to house lost or
forgotten animals to keep them protected until an owner arrives to claim them.
However, your new hire Cruella de Vil comments regularly about how certain
animals feel soft and comfortable. A background check would eliminate the
possibility of a bloodbath in the basement with a sewing kit.
As life can be stranger than fiction, it's never a bad idea to have your bases
covered. Although someone may seem innocent, they could be hiding a past or
identity that could put yourself and your loved ones in peril. Never
underestimate the need to survive by the criminal element.
