(PRWEB) August 24, 2011

EmployeeScreenIQ founder Jason B. Morris will speak at the 2011 Arizona State SHRM Conference in Phoenix, AZ at the Phoenix Convention Center on Thursday, September 1, 2011 at 7:00 am and 5 pm PST.

Technology has dramatically changed the way companies compete for talent and screen prospective employees, but nothing approaches the impact of social networking. With the widespread use of Facebook, LinkedIn and other sites comes a wave of legal liabilities for both recruiters and screeners. Other emerging technology threats include online diploma fraud, employment mills that manufacture work experience, screen scraping and more. Employers need to develop best practices and policies in order to successfully manage Web 2.0 technologies.

The presentation, entitled “Recruiting and Hiring Liabilities: Protecting Your Organization from the Harmful Effects of Web 2.0,” will educate the HR community about the legal pitfalls of social networking and the related threats of online diploma fraud, employment mills, screen scraping and more. Attendees will learn which social networking sites are most popular with recruiters and applicants, and their impact on employment screening and the hiring process. Morris will also offer advice on how to develop a social media policy and spot the warning signs of diploma and employment mills.

i-BackgroundChecks.com Provides Advice on Criminal Background Checks

Mount Kisco, NY (PRWEB) September 9, 2005

According to i-BackgroundChecks.com, one of the most utilized types of background checks is the criminal background investigation. All businesses handle some type of sensitive information of some degree. Retail businesses want to be sure prospective employees are clean from theft charges to reduce the instance of employee theft. Businesses or non-profits dealing with children and/or seniors are legally obligated to know the backgrounds of their employees.

Employers should be careful to limit the information that they need based on the responsibilities of the specific job function. For example, when hiring an employee that will handle cash transactions, employers will need to know if the candidate has had any prior convictions regarding theft. It is also mandatory that the types of background investigations to be performed are clearly outlined in any pre-employment literature. With the increasing concern about privacy, it is in the employer’s best interest to be upfront and honest about any inquiry of this nature.

i-BackgroundChecks.com also explains that the implementation of criminal background checks can greatly reduce the financial loss of a company by weeding out those who have criminal convictions. Another instance where criminal background checks can be useful is when an employee will be dealing with the public sector. In order to limit the likelihood of negligence lawsuits, employers should consider criminal background checks as a standard pre-employment screening tool.
