Austin, TX (PRWEB) September 20, 2006 -- Retail and other service industry companies are gearing up for the holidays with increased recruitment, but these new hires can have a detrimental effect on productivity and revenues if not properly screened. Integrated Screening Partners (ISP) offers the "Top Five Employee Screening Best Practices" white paper to help HR professionals and recruiters avoid a bad hire.
While the majority of companies use background screening, many are not receiving the full benefit because their screening providers deliver incomplete or incorrect information in an unacceptable time frame. This is not only frustrating for HR; it is also dangerous for the company from both a legal, financial and employee health perspective. Consider the following:
| | - 30-40 percent of applicants lie on their resume,
- 10-15 percent of applicants have a criminal record and
- 52 percent of resumes have discrepancies.
|
The white paper "Top Five Employee Screening Best Practices" offers tips for avoiding undesirables and finding the best employees for your firm.
In order to accurately evaluate each employee, HR professionals must have access to the all of the relevant information on potential employees. An accurate criminal records check requires a state district records and multi-jurisdictional searches which are only provided by select background screening providers. Many offer “instant” records checks which access the incomplete national database. If an HR professional unknowingly chooses these insufficient screens, they may allow criminals into their establishment. Criminal records checks are only one element of the background screen -- HR professionals must be aware of best practices for all aspects of the background screen to protect their company from loss and their employees from harm.
