Does your employee screening process meet
the standard of the industry?

The FDIC Guidance
FIL-46-2005, Pre-Employment Background Screening: Guidance on Developing an Effective Pre-Employment Background Screening Process.

In addition to the official requirements, why is a robust background screening process critical to your hiring process?

• Effective pre-employment background screening processes may reduce turnover by verifying requisite skills, certification, licensing or degrees for a position; deter theft and embezzlement, and prevent litigation over hiring practices.
• Institutions should verify that any contractors (and consultants) are subject to screening procedures similar to those used by the institution for hiring.
• Management should develop a risk-focused approach to determining when pre-employment background screening is considered appropriate or when the level of screening should be enhanced. Translation: Candidates for more sensitive positions should be screened more thoroughly.
• Costs of screening may be offset by reduced costs related to hiring unqualified individuals (replacement, retraining, losses, etc.)
• Section 19 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act prohibits any person who has been convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or a breach of trust or money laundering, or has agreed to enter into a pretrial diversion or similar program in connection with a prosecution, from becoming or continuing as an institution-affiliated party, owning or controlling, … or otherwise participating in the conduct of the affairs of an insured institution without prior written consent of the FDIC. That can apply to consultants, too.
• There can be substantial financial penalties for institutions who hire individuals in violation of Section 19. Does $1 million a day while the violation continues get your attention? Imprisonment for up to 5 years is also on the sanctions menu.
