Accuracy in Employment Screening
By Rob Thomson
“A background check is a background check, right?” Not so much. Accuracy in employment screening is something every background check vendor preaches, but alarmingly few understand or truly accomplish.


Personal Identifiers
Kevin Bachman

Letter From the President
By Jason Morris
Trends to Follow in 2007
I-9 Verification
Nick Fishman
Ask any HR executive about their I-9 process and their eyes begin to water before they can spit the words out. Names spelled wrong, social security numbers don’t match, proper identification isn’t verified.


The Physical Inspection
Robert Thompson
