Why Should You Attend:

Does an employer really need to conduct a background check before hiring an applicant or otherwise making an employment decision? In short, the answer is ABSOLUTELY.

In 2013, U.S. News and World Report published a study in which it was revealed that more than half of résumés contain lies, misrepresentations or half-truths.

Conducting a background search:

• allows the employer to reconcile applicant resumes and interview responses with the reality of the information found in background reports
• assists the employer in avoiding the cost and hassle of hiring a potential problem employee
• reduces the risk of turnover and stacks the deck in favor of hiring a strong performer
• helps to avoid the liability involved in hiring someone who may put other employees at risk

This webinar will help you navigate the “do’s” and “don’ts” of effective background checks.
