Ah, February—time for Punxsutawney Phil to crawl out of the ground and call for either a long winter or an early spring, time to honor Washington and Lincoln, time to run your annual MVR and time for perhaps both the most dreaded and most anticipated day of the year—no, not the Super Bowl—Valentine’s Day. While some relish it and some wish it didn’t exist, the bottom line is that it’s best to get to know your valentine before you make anything official. While a battery of background screens might not be appropriate, a little bit of investigation probably could help you avoid an awkward or newsworthy situation. Don’t believe us? Read on.

Sincerely,

Jeff Rackler, CEO

Turning Background Checks into Solutions for the Future:
Standard Thinking No Longer Applies webinar

Background screening is all too often relegated to the end of the hiring process and more of an afterthought than a measurable process with goals and best practices. Because of the inattention often paid to the process—from the choice of background screening provider, to the screens delivered, to the reporting on inconsistencies—more companies are receiving a minimal return on investment.

If you’d like to learn about how to maximize your return on investment from your background screening process in 2008, preview the webinar or download now.
