Safe Hiring Expert to Teach Due Diligence in Recruiting at HR.com Virtual Conference Webcast April 22

Attorney Lester Rosen, a safe hiring expert and Founder and CEO of background check firm Employment Screening Resources® (ESR), will present a webcast titled ‘Due Diligence in Recruiting: Don’t Play Russian Roulette with your Future’ at the HR.com Virtual Conference on Monday, April 22, 2013 from 2:30 PM to 3:30 PM ET.

“Recruiting and staffing veterans know that each placement they make has the potential to put their business or employer at great risk,” says Rosen, author of ‘The Safe Hiring Manual,’ a comprehensive guide to employment screening recently updated for a second edition published in October 2012. “Just one bad placement can mean the loss of business, lawsuits, and damage to a firm’s professional reputation.”

In the hour long webcast, Rosen will cover critical issues such as when a background check should be done and who should review the results, as well as legal considerations such as compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and discrimination laws. Additional topics include best practices for employers when coordinating their recruiting processes with background checks along with contractual issues that should be addressed by third party recruiters in contracts with employers. Participants will also learn:

• How recruiters can avoid legal and financial risk when sourcing and hiring candidates.
• How to identify candidates that are potentially dangerous, dishonest, unqualified, or unfit.
• How to understand legal obligations and responsibilities when it comes to due diligence and legal compliance in recruiting and hiring.
• How to minimize risks so they can focus on growing their business instead of being put out of business.

“Just focusing on Sourcing and Sales without proper regard to the quality of each potential hire is a formula for disaster,” Rosen stresses. “The correct formula should be Sourcing, Screening, and Sales.”

Rosen is a frequent presenter nationwide for the “ESR Speaks” program at numerous national and statewide conferences. He was the chairperson of the steering committee that founded the National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS®) and served as the first co-chairman.
