KRESS Employment Screening Offers HR Outsourcing Tips
Licensed investigations company authors white paper to clarify essential criteria for background check providers
HOUSTON—August 2, 2007—KRESS Employment Screening, a licensed investigations company that provides employers with background checks, today announced the release of their most recent white paper, "Tips for an Effective Background Screener Evaluation." This white paper provides HR professionals and small business owners the information they need to hire a background screening provider that can positively impact the quality of their employees.
"Those HR professionals who evaluate a background screening provider as more than just a commodity reseller, those who are looking for a business partner to both protect their workforce and help them improve the quality of employees that they bring in, extract a value from their background screening provider that their competitors have completely ignored," said Jeff Rackler, president of KRESS Employment Screening.
While most people choose based on price, they don't realize that for the same price or a nominal increase they can often get screening services that lead to a better workforce if those screens are customized for the company. The right provider will integrate more thoroughly with current systems and processes as well as help find better employees. In order to get the best service, decision makers have to know why the company needs screens, how screening fits into the company's culture and a bit of inside baseball about background screening. The white paper, "Tips for an Effective Background Screener Evaluation" offers this information to HR professionals.
Highlights from this report include:
- 30 percent of job seekers lie on their résumés
- Using database records alone may not constitute a legal background check
- Inaccurate or incomplete screening information could lead to lawsuits, bad hires and costly mistakes
