Attorney and safe hiring expert Lester Rosen, Founder and CEO of Employment Screening Resources® (ESR), has co-authored the ‘International Employment Background Checks’ module in the Global HR Practitioner Handbook Volume 2. Rosen’s co-author, Lisbeth Claus, Ph.D., Professor of Global HR at Willamette University, is Editor-in-Chief of the Global HR Practitioner Handbook.

In the ‘International Employment Background Checks’ module, Rosen and Claus review the challenges of conducting international employment background checks for employees who are born or have lived, worked and studied abroad, and the background screening of employees and partners in the multiple countries where the global organization operates. Upon completion of the module, which teaches due diligence in worldwide applicant screening, Human Resources professionals should be able to:

  • Distinguish between employment screening and investigations.
  • Distinguish between domestic (home-based) and international background checks.
  • List the reasons for organizations to conduct international background checks.
  • Identify the challenges and barriers in conducting international background checks.
  • Review the strategic and tactical planning involved global background checks.
  • List practical tips to enhance the reliability of international background checks.

Published by Global Immersion Press, the Global HR Practitioner Handbook is divided into two sections with more than 20 modules that include information for Human Resources professionals about background checks, data privacy, economics, innovation, leadership, payroll, recruiting, and talent management in the global economy.
