Effective and Legal Hiring

5 Steps to Legal Background Checks That Really Work

Hiring new employees is expensive and time-consuming—and if you hire the wrong person, the trouble and expense can be endless. Whether handled by supervisors and managers or assigned to a centralized human resources (HR) department, hiring decisions are among the most important decisions made in any company. Good hiring practices can eliminate or reduce many legal risks, reduce costs, increase productivity, and improve morale. Ill-advised hiring decisions, on the other hand, can result in turnover, duplicative training, missed opportunities, and lost customers. In addition, an ill-advised hire might well necessitate a subsequent termination, and every termination (no matter how justified and well documented) exposes the company to the risk of a wrongful termination/discrimination claim from the disgruntled former employee. For all these reasons, it pays to take the time to find the right person for the job the first time around.
This special report describes five steps for conducting legal background checks that really work—so you hire the right people in the first place! In addition, we will provide you with several forms that will be useful in setting up a background check policy.
