AlphaStaff Webinar Importance of Drug and Background ScreeningAlphaStaff
Hiring someone is a decision that should not be based solely on the person’s ability to handle the job. While skills required to conduct the job are necessary, one cannot rule out threats caused by an employee with a checkered past (or present). Someone with a criminal record or someone who isn’t who they say they are can potentially cause significant damage to the welfare of the company and its staff.
This webinar, led by one of the country’s premier background check and drug screening companies and a key partner of AlphaStaff, will highlight the need, the process and the advantages of proper pre-employment screenings. Presented by Sterling Infosystems.

It is imperative that employers provide notice to the applicant prior to conducting the Pre Employment Screening. Having the proper consent forms and understanding what information can and cannot be used in the hiring process is just as important as gaining the information itself.

Background checks can be helpful tools in guiding your hiring choices, as well as subsequent decisions. Once you've used them and won't need them again for awhile, it's easy to tuck these reports away in a file and forget them. But, like most aspects of business, the handling of background checks is subject to government rules.

Warning how background checks can get your staffing agency in big troubleMike McCarty
The highly unregulated background screening industry has peddled extremely low quality background checks by relying on incomplete databases, limiting the scope of the search to 7 years or not including alias names. Now, there is a fast growing movement to restrict the use of criminal background checks. It is critical that staffing companies understand how to conduct legally compliant criminal background checks that align with:
• Ban the Box
• EEOC 2012-2016 Strategic Plan
• Fair Credit Reporting Act
• Social Media Background Checks
