Employment Screening Expert Lester Rosen, President of Employment Screening Resources (ESR), a leading employment screening firm headquartered in the San Francisco area, will present a session on background checks at the SHRM Annual Conference and Exhibition on June 30, 2010, in San Diego, California.

The annual event — the world’s largest human resources conference — is sponsored by the world’s largest human resources association, the Society for Human Resources Management (SHRM), and features top HR and business experts sharing their perspectives, strategies, tools, and tips for growing a company’s talent.

The session to be presented by Rosen — Negligent Hiring and Background Checks: Best Practices and Legal Compliance — will help human resources professionals avoid employee problems by identifying potentially problematic applicants through legally complaint due diligence tools.  The session addresses new trends and legal challenges facing employers, and will also cover issues such as the use of social networking sites, international background checks, and concerns over the use of credit reports and criminal records.

“I am very pleased to have the opportunity to review cutting-edge applicant selection topics that can help employers select the best candidates,” commented Rosen. “Exercising due diligence and staying out of court is mission critical for businesses of all sizes, and this presentation is aimed at identifying for  employers and recruiters the latest trends, tools, and legal developments.”

Rosen, a nationally recognized expert on employment screening background checks, is a writer and speaker on the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), pre-employment screening, and safe hiring issues. In addition, Rosen authored the first comprehensive book on employment screening — The Safe Hiring Manual: The Complete Guide to Keeping Criminals, Imposters, and Terrorists Out of Your Workplace — and also wrote The Safe Hiring Audit.

In addition, Rosen was the chairperson of the steering committee that founded the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS), the professional trade organization for the employment screening industry, and served as its first co-chairman in 2004.
