In this infographic, you will learn: - How many candidates – even at the highest levels – routinely lie on their resume? And what they lie about? - The reasons that companies do not rescreen their employees, even though people change over time? - Why it is that companies don’t adopt a global screening policy, when doing so is prudent and safe? The number of companies that, in spite of constant changes in states’ laws regarding use of medical marijuana, have not modified their policies to accommodate new regulations? Based on our 10th Anniversary edition of HireRight’s 2017 Annual Employment Screening Benchmark Report this new infographic gives a snapshot of how organizations’ attitudes, practices and policies on background checks have evolved over the decade HireRight has been conducting our surveys. The data may astound you. And to get an even more extensive picture, download the entire 2017 Employment Screening Benchmark Report at: www.HireRight.com/Benchmark
