There is a cost to employeescreenIQ for this inspection and for small-volume accounts we must pass it along. After the initial account setup you are only charged for the searches you conduct and in many cases will receive volume discounts. If your volume level qualifies for a discount we can usually absorb the cost of the site inspection as well.

How do I justify the cost of pre-employment screening?
Just read this quick example and you will understand. A large multi-million dollar company was hiring 2000 people per month. Because of certain laws they were required to run FBI and State fingerprint checks. Turnaround time was six to eight weeks. Over 6% of the individuals were hired and dismissed after their criminal record was found. The company was spending on average $5,000 to train each new hire. By pre-screening these applicants the company was able to save over 5 million dollars every year.
What are some of the statistics & rulings related to not screening applicants?
Employers in some industries using criminal record checks as a part of their hiring process are finding that 1 out of every 7 applicants have a criminal record.
