Social Network Sites: Can You Always Trust What You See?

October 21, 2009 @ noon Eastern U.S.

About the program:

In order for hiring professionals to utilize technologically advanced screening methods to make the hiring process more efficient and timely, these technologies must be used appropriately.

Just a few of the questions that hiring professionals should consider:

• Should companies and their screening partners be using social networking profiles to determine hiring decisions?
• How is new technology helping organizations integrate their hiring procedures with their background screening practices?
• Is a national database search an accurate, stand-alone method of background screening?
• Are adjudication modules a reliable tool to use when performing a background check?
• How can one determine the authenticity of an online degree?

No two ways about it, technology is impacting employment screening and other elements associated with the hiring process—making staying informed about the practice nonnegotiable.

Presented by:

The American Society for Industrial Security (ASIS) has re-posted their Pre-employment Background Screening Guidelines for public comment through April 16th 2008. I had the honor of working on the original committee that published these guidelines in 2005 and 2006. Currently NAPBS is working with ASIS on these revisions. It appears that comments are not limited to ASIS members are are open to the public. employeescreenIQ staff members will be reviewing these guidelines and commenting on any issues we feel are outdated in regard to Background Screening, FCRA and, or State Law Compliance. It is still unclear whether or not international screening will be included in the updates.
