| A company which screens appropriately with all due diligence may still end up with a poor employee since screening relies on past behaviour as a predictor of future conduct. However, suppose an employee breaks down emotionally and attacks a colleague, the company may have been liable for negligent hiring had it not conducted appropriate pre employment screening. |
