Background Screening: 'The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth'

In this latest addition to her National Education Background Screening & Compliance Series, national expert Deb Keller exposes the biggest 'untruths' in background screening and how to protect your organization from the resulting litigation they can cause. Are you aware of the key areas where you're vulnerable to litigation and how your screening firm may not prepare or protect you? Do you know what 'indemnification' really means? Have you ever wondered why your ATS provider 'really' only recommends their 'built in' screening partners? How about inflated claims about how many criminal records your screening firm is searching? Or maybe you receive FCRA 'sample' applicant forms that you can use at your own risk (and may not be up to date or compliant but they're just 'samples.') If you think you already know it all or have 'heard it all,' take a real look behind the scenes with Deb, test your knowledge and protect your company from unnecessary litigation.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn the key areas where you're vulnerable to litigation and your screening firm may not prepare or protect you, and how to do so.
• Learn what indemnification means in regard to your background screening firm and how to protect yourself.
• Learn about FCRA requirements for applicant forms and the Federal Adverse Action process, how they've changed and how your screening firm may not be protecting you.
