Reference Checks

Amazingly, very few employers actually call the references a candidate provides. Most operate under the theory that someone wouldn't provide a bad reference.

And, people often assume, incorrectly, that a former supervisor or co-worker will provide a good reference.

Developing anti-fraud programs can be one of the most important things that you can do for your business. Prevention, in the long run, is always cheaper than recovering your losses.

Get the Consent of the Candidate

Numerous federal and state laws, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act, govern the gathering and use of information for pre-employment purposes.
