Update: We are having a school supply drive at this meeting! We appreciate your donations to help make sure Brevard County students have what they need to learn this year. This may be an opportunity to get rid of some of the things that are cluttering up your supply cabinet at work (Looking at you, three ring binders!).  The school supply list is here

Remember no donation is too small - every pen, pencil, and glue stick we donate is something a teacher won't have to buy themselves. Thanks in advance for your generosity!

Background Screening: The Deep Dive into Criminal Records – Presentation just delivered at SHRM22

Do you know what information you’re really receiving when you run a background check? Do you depend on a screening firm who tells you ‘you’re getting it all’ (whatever ‘all’ is)? Most employers are somewhat familiar with ‘running packages’ but haven’t been told exactly what records and data sources those ‘packages’ or reports are searching, let alone how often the record sources are updated. Unfortunately for employer, this information is critical to receiving a “comprehensive” and compliant background check. In this, Deb’s newest installment in her background screening educational series, she covers criminal record data, where it comes from, how accurate it really is, how often it’s updated, automation in county and national reports, state reports (when & where to run them), Federal reports (yes, they’re required for the banking industry!) and much more! A must attend session for HR Professionals of all levels.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn how data is received, compiled and reported and the difference in sources (‘fluff’ data vs. usable data.)
• Learn which background screening reports you really need and the risks associated with running each. This includes what creates a ‘comprehensive’ report and how that can vary by state.
• Learn about ‘automated data’ and its associated risks.
