  • 10 percent of employers report that screening adversely affects the hiring decision in a staggering 50 percent or more of the cases.
  • 71 percent of employers report that their organization conducts screening to "reduce risk to the organization"; 68 percent say the purpose is to "ensure a safer workplace."
  • Employee screening used to happen more commonly in certain industries, but the practice is becoming more widespread across industries.
