HR Hero Audio Conference on CD and Streaming Audio
John. B. Phillips, Jr. and Carolyne S. Beaty
With each CD purchase, you get FREE access to streaming audio. CD and streaming audio are available 3 days after each live event.
Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
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
