🦃 Did You Hire a Turkey?

A Thanksgiving Look at Background Checks‍

It’s that time of year again — turkey on the table, gratitude in the air… and maybe a few questionable hires around the office.

Every team has seen one: the candidate who looked great on paper, dazzled in the interview, and then vanished faster than the last piece of pumpkin pie. So how do you avoid hiring a turkey this holiday season?

1. Don’t let the feathers fool you.

A shiny résumé doesn’t guarantee the real deal. A thorough preemployment background check helps confirm credentials, verify work history, and catch red flags before they land in your inbox.

2. Keep your recipe compliant.

Background screening laws are always changing — especially around “Fair Chance” hiring and privacy. Make sure your process is up to date before you find yourself in hot water (or gravy).

3. Be fair, not cold turkey.

When something concerning shows up, review it carefully and communicate respectfully. Fair, transparent hiring builds trust and strengthens your brand.

4. Give thanks for good hires.

A reliable, trustworthy team is something to celebrate — and a strong background check policy is your secret ingredient.

This Thanksgiving, be thankful for employees who show up, step up, and don’t gobble up company resources. Because while turkeys belong on the table — not the payroll — smart screening keeps your business flying high all year long.
