Finding a Comprehensive Background Screening Provider
The type of background check you choose for a particular employee or volunteer will depend upon their role in your ministry. Certain positions, like those that involve children, finances, or driving may require more scrutiny than others.
A background screening provider should be willing to work with your ministry to create a screening program and package that best fits your ministry's needs. You may want to consider a couple of different types of packages, depending on what role your prospective employees and volunteers are going to fill.
