Hiring Is Only Half the Risk: The Blind Spot Every Employer Has (But Doesn’t Think About)

Faith, Hope and Payroll Podcast

Eric Jones and David Franzonello are joined by Will Montgomery of The Orsus Group, a nationwide background screening and corporate investigations firm, to examine what most employers never check: what happens to an employee's record after the pre-hire screen clears. Will explains how continuous criminal monitoring works, what a company policy and employee acknowledgement need to cover before rollout, and how organizations choose which offenses actually matter for the roles they are filling. Will offers some real-life examples of what continuous monitoring caught: a nonprofit president arrested for the same conduct his organization exists to fight, a hospital electrician convicted six months into a one-year contractor badge, and a CFO who moved more than $80,000 out of the books. In This Episode: ●       Why a clean pre-hire background check says nothing about what has happened since ●       How continuous criminal monitoring works, and what it does and does not track about an employee's life ●       What a monitoring policy and employee acknowledgement form need to include before rollout ●       How employers select which offenses get flagged based on the actual duties of the role ●       Where the real exposure sits for small businesses, and why most owners do not screen until something goes wrong Resources Mentioned: ●       The Orsus Group ●       Workforce PayHub Chapters: ●       00:00: Welcome and Introducing Will Montgomery ●       01:51: Inside The Orsus Group ●       03:44: How Continuous Monitoring Works ●       05:28: The Nonprofit President Arrested for Domestic Abuse ●       08:05: Privacy, Policy, and Employee Consent ●       11:17: The Hospital Contractor Nobody Rechecked ●       13:34: Choosing Which Offenses Get Flagged ●       15:07: Rolling Out Monitoring at an Existing Company ●       19:27: Corporate Investigations, Embezzlement, and Fictitious Employees ●       24:53: What Small Businesses Get Wrong About Screening ●       33:00: When an Employee Refuses to Be Monitored ●       34:28: Risk Exposure and Where to Reach Will Produced by Saint Kolbe Studios
