To most workers, background screening has been considered a one and done hoop to jump through after an offer of employment has been made. Accept the job, pass the background screen, and then go back to being mostly unnoticed and never again having your life examined as long as you stay with the same employer. Screening only at hire and never again can create ongoing risks for employers. Not only could a worker with a squeaky-clean background when hired accumulate a questionable record later, but an important record that wasn’t available during the initial screen can become available soon after. Implementing continuous background screening can reduce risks by following up for these unexpected changes in behavior and information availability.
