Considering using Facebook or MySpace to screen a job applicant?

Use caution before digging online into an applicant's background. 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 -- especially if that employee turns out to have a violent background.

Learn how to use background checks to ensure an effective and legal hiring process by participating in the all-new audio conference, Background Checks Front and Center: New Legal Risks and Rewards.

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

  • The dangers of investigating online for credit reports, criminal histories, and other information found through Google™ and blogs. How far can you dig without incurring legal repercussions?
  • Best practices for coordinating applications, interviews, reference checks, and background investigations
  • Information EVERY employer should be looking for when conducting background checks
  • When checks are required, when they are just advisable, and when they should be avoided
  • How information found in a background check should be treated to prevent identity theft
  • How to decide if you should investigate an applicant and the pros and cons of hiring an outside company to conduct background checks
  • If you decide to work with a background check company: What the law refers to as a consumer-reporting agency, the difference between a "consumer report" and an "investigative consumer report" and what you MUST know about the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)
  • The legal dangers when information found in a background check is improperly used or disclosed
  • Critical issues to consider when hiring before getting the results of a background check.
    Does the applicant have a history of violence or aggressive behavior?
  • What every employer should know about credit checks and their relationship to bankruptcy laws

Background Checks Front and Center: New Legal Risks and Rewards is just $237.
