We all have the urge to know more than just the periphery; it has been man’s innate characteristics right from time immemorial. Apart from the curiosity towards Mother Nature and her unending splendour; we all wish to know more about the way others think. We’re curious about the universe, life in other planets, our coworkers, spouses, children, employees, neighbours, and even celebrities.

These days, it is no longer news when individuals alongside multinational corporations pay handsomely to private investigation companies. These investigation companies are hired carry out an intensive investigation on an individual; rival companies or group of persons. Ideally, the aim behind this has always been for one goal; to uncover whatever it is that is not on the surface.

These days, the process of compiling records of individuals or organizations is known as a background check or background investigation. It is a trend that cannot only be dated back years ago. However, can be said it is here to stay.

Background checks are often requested by employers on job candidates for employment screening; especially on candidates seeking a position that requires high-security clearance. Results of a background check typically include past employment verification, certificate verification, credit history, and criminal records.

Across the globe, the trend of running deep background checks on an employee is a matter not to be treated with kid gloves. This is because it an issue that cannot be overemphasized or blown out of proportion.

In a country like the United Kingdom, the issue of background checks has taken the centre stage. This really occured after the onset of the financial crisis of 2007-2010. About 39% of UK organizations have experienced a situation where the company’s procedures have allowed an employee to be hired who was later found to have lied or forged some of their qualifications in their application.

For nations like Poland, the demand for pre-employment screening is constantly growing among Polish entrepreneurs. This is because due to a bad hire, employers lose out in very many ways: time-wise, reputation-wise and financial-wise.

The result on the first Polish research concerning the issue of pre-employment screening conducted by IBBC Group and Background Screening Service; it shows that 81% of recruiters have come across the phenomenon of lies in the CVs. Applicants according to the research tend to falsify their skills, dates of employment, responsibilities or positions.
