Background Checks:
vVHow
Recruiters Can Help Facilitate the Screening Process
By: Christine Hirsch
|
|
You
just found the perfect employee for your client. Interviews
went well and your client decides to extend an offer
to the candidate pending a standard background check.
At this point, everything starts to unravel. The background
check apparently revealed several significant discrepancies
between the candidate's resume and the facts uncovered
in the investigation. Now the candidate doesn't have
a job, you have to start over again, and your client
starts to look for other ways to fill the position.
What went wrong, could this situation have been prevented?
Background
investigations are becoming increasingly commonplace
as companies look to confirm the promise and integrity
of new hires. A typical screening verifies credentials
by placing inquiries with past employers, references,
educational institutions and civil and law enforcement
agencies. Acting as an intermediary between client
and candidate, the recruiter can help facilitate the
successful implementation of the screening process.
Recruiters can communicate with employers to clarify
expectations and work with candidates to help promote
compliance.

The
Investigative Services Industry
vVFirms
and Employers Face a Changing World
By Recruiters World Special
Reports |

Investigative
services firms are reporting a moderate increase overall
in screening requests since September 11th. Certain industries
however, such as government and transportation, have seen
an outright surge in screening activity. The investigative-services
industry is monitoring trends and changes as they emerge,
leaving many to wonder about the lasting impact of the terrorist
attacks. Are optional background checks a thing of the past?
