That is a good list and should provide the guidance that hiring and HR managers should know and follow. You suggested using a background screening company to check criminal history, verify employment and previous employment, and do the drug screening. To that company, I would like to add another that I have worked with for several years. They are Merchants Information Solutions (previously known as Personnel Profiles in Employment). Merchants has done a very nice job for us and been a good partner for us even in this difficult economy. Some of your readers might like to have a few choices in who they use for background screening, so I thought I would share this one as well as your choice (Intelius). -CB I liked your list of Pre-screening actions.
