A recent applicant submitted an employment application with one of our supermarket clients, aiming for a position in store security. Upon initial review, several alarming discrepancies were immediately identified, triggering our rigorous three-step verification process.
Personal Data Inaccuracy: The personal data provided by the applicant was incorrect, raising immediate concerns about the authenticity of the application. Invalid Home Address: The home address listed by the applicant was found to be a gas station, which further confirmed the suspicion of falsified information.
Criminal History: A comprehensive background check revealed that the applicant had a serious criminal history, including a conviction in U.S. Federal Court for selling nine stolen handguns to undercover ATF agents.
The most concerning aspect of this application was the fact that the applicant was seeking a role in store security, a position that requires the highest level of trust and integrity. This case underscores the importance of never letting our guard down in the diligence required to protect our clients, their employees, and their property.
At BestHire, we always strive for accuracy first, with completion time a close second concern. This incident serves as a critical reminder of the value of thorough vetting processes and the necessity of remaining vigilant in ensuring that all applicants are accurately and comprehensively reviewed.
