Dongguk University filed a huge suit against Yale, but the courts sided against them, citing that there was no malicious intent in the oversight. This one person incident has proven expensive for the Korean school, losing millions that would have been used for expansion. More importantly, the administration experienced extreme embarrassment and lost prestige in front of its clients, the students. It's not just professors who have been found to falsify documents. Just last year, Scott Thompson stepped down as Yahoo's CEO when it was discovered that he did not hold the computer science degree that his resume bore, showing that even top executives should probably undergo careful employment background screening too.

As any job seeker
knows, the hiring process often takes several weeks from the initial
interview to the job offer. While you may be anxious to find out if
you've landed your dream job or not, the sheer number of applicants
for any position means that human resources have a lot of screening
to do before deciding to hire anyone. Indeed, despite the recovering
economy, companies are afraid to waste money by hiring the wrong
person for the job.
According to
Glassdoor.com, which collects hiring information from different
companies, the interview process at major companies like Starbucks
and Southwest Airlines have nearly doubled compared to 2010. With the
surplus of people hoping to land a job, companies are willing to play
the waiting game until the perfect candidate shows up. Since a
company will spend a considerable amount of money on a new hire's
training, remuneration, benefits, and bonuses, whoever they finally
hire must really be worth the expense.
One measure that
employers use to prevent hiring mistakes is employee background
screening. Through it, they can double check claims like education or
work history to make sure that an applicant is who he claims to be.
With pre-employment screening methods, dishonest or incompetent
candidates—who will ultimately damage the company—are weeded out.
You might not be
comfortable with the idea that documents about your party
affiliation, criminal history, and property ownership are publicly
available. You're probably thinking that there's too much of your
personal information just floating around for anyone to see and use.
However, the truth is, public records are a great way to ensure
transparency in the country.
Basically, any entity
that uses taxpayer money to fund its operation (like local
governments, police districts, and schools) is obligated by law to
make most of their documents available to citizens, provided that the
request to inspect such documents follow the required process.
Requiring government or public offices to share certain records
ensures accountability on their part—that is, that they're not
using your hard-earned money on shady dealings. It also allows people
to see if an institution is efficient in managing its finances.
For example, a
government institution—say your local high school—receives a
budget for the year. It can spend this money on any number of things,
such as building new classrooms or renovating the cafeteria. Whatever
it decides to do, the expense report has to be publicly available so
parents know if the school is wisely using the money or squandering
it for unnecessary expenses.
As you can see, there's
no need to think of public documents as a threat to privacy. A
better way to look at them are as “two-way streets to
transparency”.
Search Public Records to Screen Prospective Employees Thoroughly

hiring them, this is actually quite difficult to do in practice. In fact, many organizations don't act upon some of the information they get directly from their prospective employees, according to Security Management. There is a greater call to use other sources, like social media, to find out more about an applicant, but this practice can be controversial. Some firms, fortunately, like the Accu-Facts Company, can offer organizations the next best thing. Via a thorough public records search, they can gather useful information that can't be obtained otherwise from preliminary tests and interviews. This service also extends to individuals who wish to have themselves “professionally screened” for future employment and have a professionally-made personal background report made for them.
