Your company is only as effective as its workforce. So making informed hiring decisions is absolutely essential!
Verifying every applicant’s history with a professional background check is an important place to start. One way to make sure that process meets your organization’s specific needs is to make consistent use of SACS Consulting’s comprehensive Employment Background Check Services. With our decades of HR experience on your side, you can significantly reduce the risks associated with hiring.
Why Perform Background Checks?
Getting a proper pre-employment background check done on everyone you are considering hiring offers significant benefits:
Reduce Hiring Risks and Enhance Hiring Efficiency
Why waste time interviewing candidates without the necessary qualifications to do the job? A thorough background check can validate an applicant’s qualifications and confirm they possess the skills and experience they claim to have. Deploying this critical tool will streamline your hiring process, help you fill positions faster and more efficiently, and minimize your chances of making a poor hire.
Employees are more likely to remain – and remain positively engaged – with the company when they are well-suited for their roles and in sync with the company’s culture. Think of the pre-employment background check as another excellent way to improve employee retention.
Using a comprehensive screening tool can also help you adhere to any legal requirements regarding hiring and ensure your compliance with regulations.
Enhance Workplace Safety
Performing a background check before you hire means you can identify individuals who may pose a risk to the safety and security of the workplace.
Protect Your Company Reputation and Reduce Liability
Hiring qualified individuals helps your organization maintain a positive reputation. Basing those hiring decisions on real data protects your company from potential lawsuits resulting from negligent hiring practices.
Promote a Positive Workplace Culture
When you expect a high level of transparency in hiring, you demonstrate that your company values honesty, integrity and reputation. Hiring people whose background and experience reliably model those qualities helps you build a cohesive team and builds trust with and among employees.
Improve your Hiring Practices

SACS Consulting offers several types of higher-efficiency background checks as investigative tools to help augment and streamline your business hiring practices. The options differ by the depth of data, analysis, and the specific investigative goal.
- Comprehensive Background Report

- Intelligence Brief (Investigative Insights)
- Adds a layer on top of the Comprehensive Report by using advanced algorithms to identify patterns, anomalies, and high-risk indicators.
- Surfaces links between associates, uncovers potential discrepancies, and highlights the most relevant findings, rather than just dumping raw data.

- Premium Profile (Due Diligence Report)
- Specialized, high-tier report focused on risk mitigation, particularly for AML (Anti-Money Laundering) or other serious financial/fraud investigations.
- Offers a “holistic view” using government watchlists and high-level, specialized public records in addition to standard data.
- Best for vetting subjects for compliance, identifying potential money laundering, or investigating terrorist financing.
- Individual Security Threat Assessment
- Structured investigation into a specific person to determine if they pose a risk to an organization, public safety, or critical infrastructure
- Evaluates a person’s motives, capabilities, and observable behaviors to prevent targeted violence, insider threats, or espionage
Aggression by terminated employees is a serious concern for businesses. Data suggests that approximately 75% of all workplace acts of violence occur during or after the firing process. While statistically rare, extreme violence from former employees does happen, and the potential for physical harm as well as legal and reputational risk, is significant should it occur.
