Employment Checks

When an employer uses third-party kyc checks for compliance why do they make mistakes in data entry? Isn't validation and verification part of compliance? It is even more shocking when potential candidates are checked against federal databases with incorrectly spelt derivatives of names especially when the candidate has provided correct information. In most circumstances such lack of due diligence on part of the third-party should be legally liable for penalty and held responsible inclusive of the employer that is using them to conduct such compliance checks. Intelligent Agents are necessary in all aspects of data entry to protect the personal information of individuals as well as to avoid potential data discrepancies where they could potentially get linked incorrectly through human error. Why must we be forced to trust another human to process our personal information especially someone we have no information of and have not done our own background checks on to assure ourselves of integrity. Sharing personal information is a risky affair especially when a candidate has no idea of the third-parties that are utilized for such processing to develop any level of assurances on trust and even such trust is questionable at best.
