VENDOR BACKGROUND CHECKS

VENDOR BACKGROUND SCREENING

There are many reasons to engage a third party vendor and finding a trustworthy one requires research. Your organization likely already works with a variety of vendors to manage work processes and complete special projects – but, do you know the character of the individuals interacting with your customers and representing your brand?

Conducting vendor background checks is not an extra precaution you take to protect the workplace, it’s a necessity. In fact, without thorough and reliable vendor screening services, companies can risk the safety of their clients, team members, and brand reputation alike.

In many ways, the vendors you work with are an extension of your organization, especially if they place professionals on site at your place of work. For example, in an environment such as a hospital or school, temporary workers, and even volunteers, have access to vulnerable populations and private information. How well you know those vendors—and their employees—can have huge consequences for your organization.

Thoroughly screen vendors before developing a professional relationship.

Given how deeply embedded vendors can be in the day-to-day operations of your business and interactions with your clients, it is critical to ensure you have done your due diligence and know who is representing your brand. Reliable Background Screening recommends comprehensive vendor background checks for every potential third party partner, especially if the company or its affiliates will be handling sensitive information, company assets, cash, or working directly with children.

You can also protect employees, customers, and your brand reputation with social media screening. Whether through traditional print, radio, and television media, or in today’s world of viral social media, bad press can significantly damage your franchise company network.

Vendor screening is the process of vetting a potential supplier partner for goods or services that your company or organization needs. It can involve both a check on the vendor business entity and principal(s), as well as a criminal background check on the vendor employee(s) or owner(s) that will be providing the services.

To protect your company, your employees, customers, and your brand, it is advisable to perform vendor screening, both on the vendor business entity, and particularly on vendor employee(s) that provide the actual services to your organization.

If a prospective vendor declines to undergo vendor screening, it should raise concern, and another vendor or supplier could be sought. It should be noted, however, that performing a background check on a business does not require any authorization. Only when performing a background check on a human being, does the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act – the federal law that governs background checks) mandate the necessity for proper disclosure to and authorization by, the individual being background checked.
