Gain the Competitive Edge with a Contractor Background Check Posted: Dec 21, 2010 02:38 pm Background checks are useful in many instances, such as when deciding whether to rent to an individual, or employ him, or in any other way to enter into a contract with him. A background check typically provides you with information on the person’s past residences, employment and whether he or she has a criminal record. Even if a background check does not show a conviction, when its information is different than what the person related to you, it is always a cause for concern. You likely do not want to rent your second house to an individual when the background check on him revealed that his last two employers were different from what you were told, for instance. Lately, background checks have been found to be useful on an entirely new class: yourself and your business! Because the economy is so poor, competition for work is very intense and consequently employers are more cautious in contracting with businesses. Due to that, it is a major plus if you can give the potential employer, regardless of occupation, a background check on you and your business showing no prior problems. Another reason that getting a background check on your business is called for is that at times innocent errors will appear on it, just as they do on credit reports, bank statements and in the telephone book. You need to carefully read the background check you receive and take whatever action is needed to correct any serious errors on it. Adding a clean background report to a bid is often the difference between getting the work and not getting it. Because background reports are easy to obtain and cost so little, all contractors, regardless of what field they are in, would be wise to obtain them when bidding on a job. Not only will the background report ensure the potential employer of your worth, it will also provide needed confidence that there is no reason to worry about workplace safety. Are you painter, carpet cleaner, computer technician, appliance installer, redecorator, roofer, house or office cleaner, to name just a few areas of practice? If so, take this simple step to enhancing your chances of getting work and obtain a contractor background check today. Share this on: Forward this to a friend |
