As you may know, in March we successfully launched employeescreen University, a first of its kind interactive, educational Web site for security, risk management and human resource professionals that features regularly updated, free background-screening information; all aimed to help hiring managers make better hiring decisions.
The reaction from the marketplace has been overwhelmingly positive and we have evolved the content based on the responses we receive from our visitors.
Some of the new features added since the launch include:
Guest Articles Section- A unique point of view about background checks and, or other related topics from industry insiders and experts. Sample of Guest Contributors includes:
- Ron Bower, Vice President and Director of Talent Sourcing at AmTrust Bank on Developing Employee Referral Programs
