Just like a quarterback hoping for the best by throwing a long bomb
downfield, not running background checks on candidates, senior
executives, seasonal workers, and the extended workforce may cost
you the game. And go for those extra points by re-screening
employees when they’re promoted or moved to a different position.
HAIL MARY
A great candidate experience can attract the best-of-the-best and
make them want to join your team. Fumble on that and expect
repercussions on social media. Keep candidates up-to-date on where
they are in the hiring process and let them know the next steps. Pay
attention to what’s important to them and score a Big Win!
TOUCHDOWN
On the field, this penalty happens when a defender contacts the
other team before the ball is snapped. In hiring, it may also apply to
asking candidates about their salary history, and basing compensation
on that information. You may be thrown for a loss – we’re talking a
risk of penalties and litigation – by doing so.
ENCROACHMENT
Not playing by the book; making an illegal, flagrant foul. In
hiring, play by the rules by staying in compliance with FCRA, and
local, state and federal laws including ban the box, medical
marijuana, and pay equity. Kick off the New Year right by
downloading HireRight’s free white paper, “Checking in on
Employment Background Checks: Are You in Compliance with the
EEOC, FCRA, Federal and Local Requirements?”

the hiring process to provide the best candidate experience possible.
And don’t “punt” by sending them impersonal, canned messages.
