Will this guy be your next employee?

Imagine hiring an employee and then finding out he has been accused of rape.  This is just what happened in the case of Andrew Bolsinger

 If you do not perform an employment background check prior to hiring, he or someone like him may be your next employee.  Employee screening will show patterns of past behavior.  It is not just the criminal element, there are many warning signs in the employment history and driving history. 

Have your employees screened by professionals with experience.  Then if something happens to your customers or employees you have done your best to prevent it.  A court of law looks favorably on that.  It is called Due Diligence with respect to hiring practices.  Employers Reference Source provides risk assessments at no charge.  How vulnerable are you?

Diploma $29.99?

Filed under: Employee Screening, Employment Background Check — admin @ 11:37 am

Do not take things at face value, especially education credentials.  Right now on the internet you can purchase an authentic looking diploma for any degree you wish.  The package also comes with student transcripts, documented membership in student body council and an alumni sticker for your car window.  I am not kidding, an alumni sticker!With all of this possible, it would be foolish to not have education verification as part of your employee screening process. 

 To spot a fake, follow these steps. 

Look closely at how the institution name is spelled.  With a change of one letter, it is not forgery.  Universty of Kentucky?

Call the institution directly, with a phone number you obtain, to verify the degree.  Some applicants will provide false phone numbers and have friends answer the phone with the information.   

Ask the institution to fax you a copy of the diploma and compare it with the diploma that the applicant provides.

 Or, have a professional employment background check done.

The short time it takes to check out the documents will save you much time and headaches in the long run
