CLEVELAND / October 1, 2013-Employers who rely on criminal www.employeescreen.com [background checks] when screening job candidates may be living with a false sense of security – and setting themselves up for a potential fall. To help companies better understand what a comprehensive criminal records background check should entail, EmployeeScreenIQ is offering an instructive guide aimed at HR professionals responsible for their organizations’ background screening programs.
The complimentary white paper, “Time for a Wake-Up Call: Are Your Background Checks Giving You a False Sense of Security?” offers employers five essential steps to understanding how to conduct a comprehensive criminal records background check. The five-step guide provides employers with advice regarding name and address history traces, ways to expand their search perimeter and how to thoroughly vet their providers.
