The Safe Hiring Manual goes beyond the typical reference-checking handbook and provides a comprehensive blueprint for developing a Safe Hiring Program. More than 30 chapters detail the steps to not only verify education and past work history, but also investigate criminal records, identify terrorists, perform international background checks, and update your current program to comply with recent changes involving the EEOC, FCRA, Patriot Act and other legal concerns. The book provides the tools to audit the effectiveness of your current hiring program and implement the necessary changes to keep your business safe - and keep you out of court.
