What About The Reference Check?

And I mean, sure, who doesn’t want that last piece of assurance from someone who ‘knows’ the candidate and has seen their work? The background check, done professionally, not only (potentially) helps in identifying the best candidate, but may also help to reduce the risk of workplace fraud.

Fraud? Well, any recruiter can tell you how increasingly creative candidates are with fabricating their qualifications, exaggerating their experience, and concealing or misstating material facts, so yes, a well-constructed background check can help to manage the risk of employing the wrong person.
