The Secret World of Background Checks

Contrary to popular belief, 73% of all U.S. companies perform background checks on all candidates, not just those applying for upper management positions. There are numerous reasons why a person may run a background check on another individual. Employers perform background checks on potential employees, property managers run background checks on incoming tenants, parents run background checks on nannies, and some people even run background checks on the people they date! There are a number of benefits associated with performing background checks. Background checks can help confirm a person’s qualifications, solidify their character, verify their educational background, alert an employer about potential issues relating to criminal history, credit history, and legal working status. In the following infographic, we’ll outline the typical process of a background check. In addition, we’ll illustrate how to find the right provider once you’ve decided you want to run a background check, go through a list of the most common infractions found when running a background check, and shed light on the “the dark side” of background checks.

The True Cost of an Attorney

There are a number of factors that can influence how much money you or your company might have to spend the next time you need an attorney. According to one study, company legal departments can spend anywhere from $245,000 to $320 million in legal fees annually. So why are attorney fees so high? There are a number of reasons. One reason relates to the amount of money attorneys spend while earning their law degrees. On top of their four year college degrees, attorneys also attend three years of law school. For individuals working toward a career as an attorney, tuition can cost anywhere from $119,295 to $174,327 depending on whether they attend an in-state, out-of-state, or private school. Another reason relates to the time and energy that an attorney typically spends working on complex corporate cases (many of which take three years or more to resolve). In the following infographic, we’ll outline additional factors that influence the costs of hiring an attorney, what types of services small businesses typically hire attorneys for, and how costs vary depending on where you are in the country.
