Hiring is more than filling a position—it’s a decision that affects your team, your company’s safety, and even your brand reputation. And in high-stakes environments like government agencies or regulated industries, the risk is even greater. The Cost of a Bad Hire can stop productivity or cause tens of thousands in losses for a business.
At Davis Investigation Services (DIS), we work with HR professionals, government contractors, and corporations to conduct deep, compliant, and accurate pre-employment screening to reduce the chances of experiencing the Cost of a Bad Hire. When you need to be sure about who you’re hiring, we help remove uncertainty from the process.
The Real Risk Behind Inadequate Screening
According to industry studies, a bad hire can cost a company 30% or more of that employee’s annual salary—not to mention lost productivity, morale issues, or potential security breaches. In sectors with strict compliance or security protocols, one missed red flag can become a liability nightmare.
Common risks of insufficient screening include:
- Falsified credentials or work history
- Undisclosed criminal history
- Hidden conflicts of interest
- Past misconduct or regulatory violations
A surface-level check may confirm identity—but it won’t tell you who someone really is. That’s where DIS comes in.
What Sets DIS Apart from Standard Background Checks
Many online background check services focus on speed and automation. At DIS, we focus on depth, accuracy, and discretion—because your hiring decisions demand more than a quick database scan.
Here’s what makes our process different:
- Comprehensive background investigations, including employment history, education, and criminal records
- FCRA-compliant reports designed to meet legal standards for HR use
- Customized screening packages based on your industry, role sensitivity, and risk profile
- Direct communication with our investigators, not a call center
Whether you’re screening candidates for federal contracts, law enforcement positions, or private-sector executive roles, we tailor every report to the needs of your organization.
Screening You Can Rely On—Across Every Role
Our services are ideal for:
- Government agencies and contractors
- Human resource firms and staffing agencies
- Security-sensitive and compliance-heavy industries
- Corporations needing executive-level background vetting
We also support periodic re-screening, clearance-level checks, and internal investigations as needed.
The Bottom Line: A Proactive Investment
Hiring without thorough vetting is like signing a contract without reading the fine print. The cost of fixing a hiring mistake—especially in sensitive or public-facing roles—often outweighs the cost of getting it right the first time.
- By partnering with DIS, your organization gains:
- Confidence in your hiring decisions
- Reduced legal and reputational risk
- A trusted investigation partner, not a one-size-fits-all service
