Your are so funny TB maybe you aught to find out what kind of background checks they do before you charge lack of proper screening for the job. People can get by background checks if they haven't been caught doing illegal acts before the check. Have you ever been through a government screening of your background. Things like educational records, sex offender registry database check, criminal and civil courts’ records, driving records, social security number records check, and past employment background records history are all part of the screening process.
