Don’t be Duped by Bad Background Data: Top 10 Tips for Tackling Screening Reports

Do you understand how the data that is pulled for your pre-employment background checks? For example, are you confused about whether or not a national criminal check is thorough and up-to-date—because sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. Don’t be duped by your vendor. Attend this seminar to learn how data is pulled for background checks so you can purchase your background data confidently and strengthen your own hiring decisions.
Pre-employment background screening is now considered a standard practice in Corporate America. But some vendors are delivering less than quality data and deceiving the buyers that what they provide is all they need to make a hiring decision. Discover the truth by understanding where data is compiled, how often it is refreshed, and what the FCRA states is needed for making decisions with the most-up-to-date data available.

This webinar reviews the types of data a vendor can access and explains how that can or cannot be used in the hiring motion. Learn how arrest records may be used in some states and not others as well as how sex offender data returned in some national criminal files can not be up-to-date thus exposing you to possible litigation if you end up hiring an offender who errors while at work.

In addition, you will review the type of information that is returned and learn some common guidelines as to whether or not you would want to consider hiring this person. For example, just because someone has a criminal record should not necessarily remove them from employment consideration. But just what is the difference between a 5-year sentence and a 10-year sentence for a felony? Does this communicate information to you that you need to understand? We will review general guidelines to consider when you receive a criminal report.
