A company is only as good as the people with whom it associates, which is why it becomes necessary to have effective background screening processes in place to weed out candidates who may be detrimental to the organisations interests. Whether or not its fair, the unfortunate truth is that a company will always be held liable for the actions of the people it employs, regardless of the circumstances. A single incompetent, malicious, or corrupt employee can permanently ruin an organisations reputation with clients, investors, the industry, and the general public, overnight. The only way to avoid such scenarios is to know exactly whom you are hiring.
