Topic: Pre-Employment Screening: Reducing Your
Risks Through Better Practices

The presentation would cover all aspects of pre-employment screening including education verification, degree verification, and prior employment verification. Criminal background checks will only be a portion of what Jeffrey will discuss (the majority of our company's findings are typically in dishonesty regarding education and prior employment, not necessarily criminal history).
