Nicerazor: WHY YOU SHOULD CONDUCT BACKGROUND CHECKS
There are large numbers of applicants who are searching for jobs with questionable characters this leads us to the question ‘ How well do you know your employee or prospective hire? Often times we leave our children, wards, properties, businesses at the mercy of people to take care of them without knowing who they are or if they are really who they say they are. How well do you know your domestic staff like your child’s nanny, house maid, your driver, your security guards or your new hire in the workplace?
Background investigations and reference checks are employers principal means of securing information about potential hires from sources other than the applicants themselves. A background investigation generally involves determining whether an applicant may be unqualified for a position due to a record of criminal conviction, motor vehicle violations, poor credit history, or misrepresentation regarding education or work history. A reference check generally involves contacting applicants’ former employers, supervisors, co-workers and educators to verify previous employment and to obtain information about the individual’s knowledge, skills, abilities and character.
REASONS FOR CONDUCTING A BACKGROUND CHECK A major reason to conduct background and reference checks is to avoid harm or legal liability of various types to the employer or to others. This includes harm to: • Other employees by sexual harassment or workplace violence. • The organization’s customers , for example, sexual assault on business premises. • The public by negligent driving. • The employer’s business through financial loss or image and reputational issues. Defense of legal claims, such as negligent hiring, is a compelling reason to conduct in-depth criminal records searches of job applicants. A multilevel jurisdictional criminal records search can be strong evidence that the employer exercised due care in hiring.
MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY Hire the best and reject the rest, the saying goes. Typically, past performance is a strong indicator of future performance and can reveal an individual’s professionalism, productivity, job skills and interpersonal communication abilities. A reference check helps distinguish between a true high flier and a mere poser.
DATA VERIFICATION Verifying the information provided by the applicant regarding his or her education and credentials, employer history, tenure, and other data will not only confirm required qualifications but can provide some insight into the applicant’s reliability and motivation. According to a 2018 HireRight report, 85 percent of employers surveyed uncovered a lie or misrepresentation on a candidate’s resume or job application during the screening process—up from 66 percent five years ago. With the reasons above carrying out a due diligence on your new hires will save your organization a great deal and having that peace of mind in running your business.
This leaves us with a question: As a business owner do you do due diligence when hiring employees? Your thoughts!!!
@me So you will allow your daughter to be married out as a fatherless lady. How will a serious African man marry a woman that has no known father? What will she say to the family that she is married to? It will come back to hunt her in the course of her marriage.
For African men hate or love us there are certain things that will always favour us in our relationship with the opposite sex.
ImaIma1: It is the negative news you choose to dig out and focus on.
I asked and I ask again...what about the countless and endless list of men who stay with their families after having a child/children? Your neighbours, colleagues, family members and friends. Do they all run away?
Either you are new on the forum because if you aren't, you'd know I bring news both negative and positive to the forum.
Rahkman: you will be surprised that this same saphiere is steadily collecting big manba shouting and moaning as she spread her juices all over the mamba then after orgasming she would log in to nairaland to type thrash about men
bigpicture001: Yes it true that we always claim that family is everything, they will never desert you bla bla bla....but my main question is, is your family always right in taking your top ranking position of importance..?
Many atimes we have heard of family members betrayals just like friends do. We have heard of family abandonment of a sibling, we have seen a lot if times how elder siblibgs jettision youger ones and face thier own life...
My girlfriend is an orphan with four other siblings. Who grew apart in other relatives houses. Everyone is now adult..she cant seem to get over her emotional connections to her siblings, always claming they com first even before her lover or eventual hubby or even the children she will birth...
Looking at the family, I don't even see what is so special a sacrifice they have done for themselves. Example her eldest bro who earns over 600k monthly gave her a paltry 15k for a trip to sokoto for her NYSC. A place she has never been to..this includes t/fare, feeding etc. Her siblings would never feel like being around each other except it calls for a serious Holiday like xmas...there are many more I can't list here.
Wtf! My family have much more sacrifices for each other yet we understood the roles new person entering the family through love have in each and everybody's lives....
People are so two faced in this country claiming family family but dont really care..for the ladies that wil crop up on this thread..first ask yourself how many times have your brother bought you exmas gift or burthday gift before you open ur lieing mouth
Mind you this is not to underscore, the relevance of family bond, but everyone that affects your life should be rightly placed where they importantly belong.
So where should you "boyfriend" should belong? Go and get a life please.
ImaIma1: What of links of countless men who are with their family with their children and wives? Your neighbours, colleagues,family and friends? Those ones don't make your headlines or the news because rgey are not negative.
The men who stay with their families when their wives gives birth are much more than the ones who run. Look around you and stop shopping for negative news about men online.
VEXT: A man who attempted to flee a chief magistrate court in Adamawa after he was convicted for abandoning his pregnant girlfriend, has been sentenced to nine years in prison without an option of fine.
Mallam Zakaria, 31, who was brought before the court by his girlfriend, Maryam Usman, for abandoning her after he got her pregnant, was found guilty and sentenced to two years with an option of fine, but his immediate response was to break into a run out of the court in an attempt to escape.
According to The Nation, when pursued and brought back, the court recalled his case file and slapped him additional seven years in correctional confinement with no option of fine.
Zakaria was arrested and charged to court on June 18, 2021, for deserting Maryam, after she lodged a complaint to the Police that he abandoned her after putting her in a family way. She told the court that Zakaria also conspired with the neighbour, Sunday Assoga, who owns a patent medicine store and deceived her into accepting the administration of some hard drugs on her, but that the attempted abortion failed.
The convict admitted committing the crime, after which the court made adjournments until finally ruling on the case, the court, presided over by Magistrate Adamu Abdulrazak, convicted and sentenced him to two years imprisonment with N150, 000 option of fine.
On the pronouncement of the judgement, Zakaria reacted by rushing out of the court hall and out of the court premises, but court security details who realized that he was attempting an escape, ran after him and succeeded in returning him to the court.
He was taken before the judge who recalled his case file and invoked section 138 of the state penal code law, handing him seven years jail term without the option of fine, taking his total term to nine years.
Kaybae: Some uncertainty happen in marriage that it's only the wisdom of God that is needed to sort them out, for the happiness of the child, one will surely want the father to get involved but maybe after the whole celebration individual will maintain their lane, May God see us through.
ImaIma1: Where did you get these statistics that most men run when their wives give birth?
It seems you only choose to see the bad situations and stories concerning men. Women give birth everyday and husbands take responsibility for their children.
ecolime: I just discovered this Ops bitterness against men all over Nairaland.
You must have been terribly heartbroken by a dude or several. You may also have been abused sexually as a child and thus the hatred for men and constant vile comments. Who knows?
It's not the end of the world young woman. You can still start your life afresh. Free your mind from this hurt and pains of the past. Go for therapy sessions so that you can heal properly.
You deserve to be happy. My prayers are with you.
Best wishes!
I'm not bitter. I'm very much sweet inside out. I create this post to learn.
Sentientmind: i wouldnt, if im in anyway related, ill woukdnt welcome the father. but if the girk hooses to, who am i to refuse it. but personally i wouldnt welcome it.
I mean he was no there through thick and thin. You took in, gave birth and train the child alone. He runs away like most men do once their wives give birth. Now the child is about to get married and he comes to perform the marriage rites as a father.
Is it proper?
debbydams: do u think its easy to carry a child for 9months, pains during pregnancy, child birth, nd nursing the child from Creche to university, so one shameless man will now want to sit as a father on his or her wedding day, bible says Kama rii(its imposible) the current hubby will be his or her father,,I Trust that shameless man won't dare face me tho..as a smart mother I'll tell my kid everything,nd I trust the kid wouldn't want him
Now here is someone with brains. God bless you jare
Lashist: You were and you even had to defend the girl that she tortured, killed and butchered the man bcus she was attacked ...see height of hypocrisy na...im sure you are so happy the man was killed not minding if he is even your family or not bcus you would do the same
Oh! I remember now. I was slightly present. I don't pity the man for the following reasons; 1. He cheated on his wife. 2. He raped the girl.
The police in Adamawa State has arrested an 18-year-old housewife, Aisha Mohammed, for allegedly inserting a hot iron rod into the private part of her 5-year-old stepdaughter, for bed-wetting, Reports.
Spokesperson for the command, DSP Suleiman Nguroje, in a statement said the suspect was arrested on Thursday, July 1, 2021, in Wuro Patuji village, following a report received from the victim’s mom, Aisha Abdullahi, and her lawyer.
“The suspect took advantage of the baby following the divorce of her mother that brought her under her care and custody.
Investigation reveals the suspect, being the second wife to the victim’s father, committed the offence by using hot iron (rod) to torture and inflict injury on the private parts of the baby because she discharged urine on her bed,” he said.
The mother of the victim lamented the situation, saying, “My daughter may never live a normal life as a woman.”
Lashist: Lol...you didn't carry any news about girls that go around killing their sugar daddies...you still never heal from your heartbreak ...better heal quickly so you can find a good man if you still want to marry unless you have given up and chosen lesbianism
Someone else carried. And besides, I wasn't present during that time.
IyaTola: There is a major scam going out there and it's young people scamming their parents. The entire visage of Chidinma Ojukwu is a scam, her innocent look is a veil fo preying unsuspecting men and women, with such look she can take anyone to the cleaners and yea she started drugs at eleven years old.
Chidinma story that's lead to the question, how much of your children do you know? And guess what, today's children do not want us to know who they are. Who they say they are is not who they are. Very sad.
Today.....nah, there is a rebellion among the youth today towards tjeor parents that suggest that there was a long-standing quarrel for centuries between them and thwir parents. Conversation are far and and few between and what we have are agitation, argument & anger by the youth. Most Nigerian home see that.
All you need to see American youth challenge is to watch my favorite TV show, Judge Judy. All you need for Nigeria is to read the papers, the crime pages and go to the internet and your heart will be broken. Very few families are lucky to escape the thieves at night and in broad day light who steal our joy and turn our children against society and destroy themselves for good.
Chidinma is the symbol of this results. Let us begin. The internet, peer pressure, the Nigeria society's need to go big or go home. We worship money and our children aspire. The big boys who are living large, runs girls who make money from filth and their bodies who turn it into salons and lounges while laundering and the money.
Our kid think they worked hard in honest dealings and discover to late that is is something else. Drugs, pretence, poor role modeling, ostentation living, big and insane parties and Tv programmes and tell you it's okay. Lost values, modernity, imported values, poor judgement, absentee parenting, fake churches and religious orientation.
Rich kids living on borrowed time who splash the money on insanities and attract the Chidinma's of this world, thieves in suit whose only job is to party in Ghana and work in Nigeria, the Yahoo life poverty, poor educational systems, lack of time for the youth, broken down health system, boredom, broken homes and broken children. Adding up we have rape, sadist, child traffickers, armed robbers who need the likes of Chidinma's company, white collar thieves, yahoo plus and inordinate ambition
