Describe What Makes Your Blog Unique and Worth Reading
HR professionals often contact Liberty with inquiries regarding their business practices. Many people think they know what goes into pre-employment screening practices, but sadly, they are often misinformed. Many businesses make mistakes early on and leave themselves open to liability. Still, many others take the least expensive route for background checks, unaware of the inconsistencies they are logging with each check.
Liberty's QuickChecker is designed to help HR Professionals understand the nuances and industry of pre-employment screening. We try to highlight human-interest stories, stories about small businesses, large businesses, individuals, and everything in-between. We believe we offer a little something for everybody, as well as important local, state, and federal changes in employment law that specifically affect those in the HR field.
Advice
- Avoid "Instant" background checks as your sole screening tool - these types of checks, while inexpensive, offer spotty criminal history and do not provide information such as open warrants.
- Develop a consistent Random Drug Testing program. Companies who randomly test their employees reflect less turnover and random drug tests are a powerful deterrent for regular drug users.
- When selecting a pre-employment screening provider, be sure they offer support services such as an internal software system, risk assessment evaluations, and customizable solutions.
