Objective Pre-Employment Screening

There is a direct relationship between people who do not meet a hiring agency's basic qualifications or behavioral requirements and their tendency to exaggerate, fabricate, minimize, or omit critical information needed to make hiring decisions. Legislation has been proposed that would eliminate government use of polygraph (already illegal in the private sector). Record checks (criminal, credit, academic, traffic, etc.) require that a record exist (seldom the case, particularly with regard to criminal misconduct, violence, conflicts of interest) and drug tests can be defeated by simple temporary abstinence. It is increasingly civilian candidates for employment. This course is appropriate for recruiters, personnel officers, background investigators, members of the oral board, and the administrators charged with the selection of police, fire, and other personnel for positions of trust. It does not attract negative media or legislative attention and often provides critical employment information unavailable from any other source.
