Webinar
for Recruiters and HR Professionals Offers Tactics for Conducting a
Thorough and Complete Background Checks on Executive Candidates.
NOVATO,
Calif. (July 11, 2012) – The news is full of stories of C-level
executives who exaggerate their credentials. Reports show that 57
percent of resumes are “performance enhanced,” which is why
recruiters and HR professionals need to know how to conduct a
comprehensive background check. In the next session of Experts
Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com/recruiter.aspx)
for executive recruiters, HR and security expert Phillip S. Deming
will present “Due Diligent Background Investigations: An Essential
for Hiring Right.” The webinar is scheduled for Thursday, July 26,
from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT), and available
afterward for registered participants. The Experts Connection
webinars are sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).
As
the job market becomes more competitive, more executives tend to
inflate their credentials in an effort to improve their chances for a
job. The challenge for hiring professionals is identifying the red
flags and asking the right questions when checking references. You
also need to know how to use the Web as part of your due diligence.
From his years as a Special Agent with the U.S. Treasury and a
security expert, Phillip knows the necessary steps for conducting a
lawful and effective investigation when vetting candidates. What are
the phases for a successful vetting process, including gathering
data, verification analysis, and documentation? How do you use
behavioral responses to separate truth from fiction in candidates’
responses? How can social networks and the Web help you find useful
background data?
During
this 90-minute webinar, Deming will discuss:
-
Understanding the ingredients for a successful background
investigation.
-
Developing a well-conceived vetting strategy to reduce hiring risk.
-
Recognizing potential legal issues and their impact to the background
process.
-
Preparing yourself to avoid “psychological influencers” that can
override the decision-making process.
-
Clearly identifying resources to help you implement successful
vetting of candidates.
-
Creating a holistic approach for qualifying candidates for your
organization.
“Every
day, the news has stories of chief executives and business leaders
losing their jobs and costing their companies money and reputation
because they lied about their qualifications,” said Katherine
Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinars.
”Recruiters and HR professionals need to have every tool at their
disposal to verify candidates’ claims and qualifications. Drawing
from his security background, Phillip is in a unique position to
offer insight into tools and techniques that hiring professionals
normally overlook.”
