A question I am often asked by prospective clients is, “So what best practices do you employ?” Well that’s a pretty easy answer if you have any experience in the employment screening industry. The industry politically correct answer is, “Oh well we employ standards as recognized by NAPBS (National Association of Professional Background Screeners) and ASIS International.

In recent news, the State of Ohio has partnered with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to provide them with a fingerprint scanning machine for background checks. This new initiative allowed Ohio BCI to receive a $300,000.00 grant from the federal government to train the local offices as well as provide the equipment.

When the guy telling the story mentioned where he worked, it wasn’t too long until it got back to me.
Yes, HR people have friends.
But this is beyond stupid. Ranting about your boss on Facebook when he is connected with you on there? Check out this story:
Many people looking for positions are considering relocation and some of those people are finding difficulty from HR not wanting to do relocation (especially when a person can be found at the local level). Everyone (and I mean everyone) assumes it is the cost of relocation that is so off putting to companies. Let me tell you something: that’s not the (biggest) issue.

I am a huge fan of social media. Whether it be blogs or networking sites like Facebook or Twitter, I love the fact that I can interact with a lot of people I never would interact with otherwise. It opens up a world of knowledge.
There is also an opportunity for companies and people to make serious errors when joining the fray of social media. And when a major mistake is made, it gets blown up online (sometimes more so than necessary). There are some really simple things you can do to make sure your social media experience is the best it can be.
