数据已经汇总，结果如下：公司和组织在过去一年中进行的背景调查比以往任何时候都多。随着雇主稳步开始再次招聘，他们确保他们招聘的员工只有最无可挑剔的背景。即使是过去从未进行过工作背景调查的公司，今年也开始这样做了。
FBI 刚刚发布的有关通过其国家即时犯罪背景调查系统 (NICS) 进行的筛查数量的数字进一步支持了表明此信息增加的信息。NICS 不仅用于某些员工的背景调查，还用于批准枪支购买，这一数字也比去年有所增加。尽管许多人认为背景调查的增加是由于最近几个月大学校园的丑闻曝光，这些类型的调查被曝光，但这种趋势实际上在过去 16 个月中一直在持续。
您的公司或组织有很多理由对您的潜在员工和志愿者进行员工背景调查。许多公司也开始对现有员工进行这些检查，以确保他们仍然符合最初的筛选标准。对于公司而言，如果不进行这些类型的背景调查，可能会使他们在任何员工发生暴力或犯罪事件时承担责任。如今，当发现员工参与犯罪行为的事情发生时，并且有任何媒体关注或报道，其中一个更常见的问题是“他们在被聘用之前是否进行了背景调查？”。如果今年的下一个问题是“您是否曾经重新验证过他们是否仍会通过犯罪背景调查”，请不要感到惊讶。对这样的问题肯定的“是”听起来比不得不承认你没有做检查要好得多。

The data has been compiled and the results are in: companies and organizations have done more background checks over the last year than ever before. As employers steadily began to hire again, they made sure the employees they were hiring had only the most impeccable backgrounds possible. Even companies, who never did job background checks in the past, began doing them this year.
The information that indicates a rise in this information was further supported by the numbers just released by the FBI concerning the number of screenings done through their National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). The NICS is used not only for certain employee background checks, it is also used for firearm purchase approval, which is also up over last year. Though many people think that the rise in background checks is due to the scandals of recent months at college campuses, where these types of checks came to light, the trend has actually been going on over the past 16 months.
There are many great reasons for your company or organization to perform employee background checks on your potential employees and volunteers. Many companies are also beginning to do these checks on current employees to make sure that they still are compliant with their initial screening standards. For a company, not doing these types of background screenings could potentially make them liable in the case of an incident of violence or crime comitted by any of their employees. Nowadays, when something happens where an employee is found a have been involved in a criminal act, and there is any media attention or coverage, one of the more frequently asked question is “Did they have a background check done before they were hired?”. Don't be surprised if the next question this year is "Did you ever reverify if they would still pass a criminal background check?" A definite "Yes" to such a question sounds much better than having to admit you didn't do a check.
