Employment Background Checks For The Motorcycle And Power Sports Industry

Motorcycle Dealers, power sports dealers, parts distributors, motorcycle service centers and repair shops all have the same risks from undesirable employees.

Bike and parts thefts arising from the collusion of a “Get Ready” employee with key access or a dealership manager, title clerk, parts cashier, F&I  or sales person can result in major inventory losses in dealerships.

Losses arising out of employee or manager theft, embezzlement, credit card fraud, harassment, workplace violence and other crimes can bring costly and even disastrous financial consequences to a dealership, it’s employees and it’s reputation.

Dealers know the cost of a “Bad Hire” is incalculable….

FBI statistics reveal that the overwhelming majority of all vehicle thefts from dealerships are connected by some aspect of employee involvement.

These facts alone dramatically illustrate the need for a thorough and comprehensive pre-employment background screening program that includes a quality nationwide state and Federal criminal record background check for all applicants.

Motorcycle dealers were some of the first businesses to understand the risk management value of a serious employment screening program. They identified employment screening as the most important first step to be taken to reduce the costs associated with hiring people that might bring claims, litigation and other avoidable losses and expenses to their businesses.

Our criminal record  “Smart Search Plus®”  includes all searches included in the criminal record smart search, but also includes an unlimited check of Federal criminal records. It is increasingly important to check these added Federal records as they now make up as much as 10 percent of all criminal records. And, those charged in the Federal criminal system have been charged with some of the most serious crimes.

Our criminal record  “Smart Search®”  is an excellent and comprehensive criminal record background check that provides a thorough background screening criminal records search of state and county criminal record repositories, but does not include a check of the Federal criminal records in each state as included in our criminal record  “Smart Search Plus®” .
