Considering calling a background check service to screen a job applicant?

Use caution before you pick up that phone. Done incorrectly, a background check can land your organization deep in a legal quagmire. Then again, if you don't investigate a prospective employee, your organization could be slapped with a negligent hiring suit.

Learn the pros and cons of background checks by participating in the HR Hero audio conference, Background Checks: Follow the Rules, Know the Risks, Reap the Rewards.

In just 90 minutes, nationally-acclaimed employment law attorneys John B. Phillips, Jr. and Carolyne S. Beaty will walk you through the legal dos and don'ts for investigating job applicants, including:

  • Information "red flags" employers should be looking for during a background check
  • Hands-on advice for investigating applicants and how to determine if you should hire an outside background check service
  • The dos and don'ts for working with a background check company (what the law refers to as a consumer-reporting agency)
  • The difference between a "consumer report" and an "investigative" report, and what HR needs to know about the (Fair Credit Reporting Act) FCRA that may not be common knowledge
  • When background checks are required by law, when they're simply a good idea, and when they should be avoided
  • Legal pros and cons of using MySpace, online credit reports, and other Internet sources -- and how to know when you've gone too far
  • How employers can prevent identity theft during a check
  • Liability risks if background check information is improperly used or disclosed
  • The dangers of hiring someone before getting the results of a background check
  • What employers should know about credit checks and the relationship to bankruptcy laws
  • Information that can still mean trouble -- even if it's lawful to gather it
  • Issues to consider under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA), including the exceptions to notification and authorization and disposal of consumer reports
  • Real-world advice for coordinating applications, interviews, reference checks, and background checks to ensure an effective and legal hiring process
  • And there's so much more...
