PreemploymentDirectory.com, the Background Screening Information Portal, to Release 'Background Screening Best Practices' Guide at SHRM Talent Management Conference
Alpharetta, GA (PRWEB) April 11, 2016 -- PreemploymentDirectory.com, the background screening information portal for Human Resources professionals, announced it will release their newest publication, 'Background Screening Best Practices: Insights from Accredited Background Screening Firms' at the SHRM Talent Management Conference on April 18th. The guide features articles written by firms who have earned accreditation from the National Association for Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS), which is the trade association for the global background screening profession.
To earn accreditation, firms must implement the standards as defined by the Background Screening Credentialing Council (BSCC), which certifies that background screening firms follow the Background Screening Agency Accreditation Program (BSAAP) Standard. This process ensures companies comply with relevant laws, ethical business practice and demonstrates a commitment to excellence. It’s not sufficient to merely reflect the standards in official policies. It must also be demonstrable in daily business operations and this is verified by an onsite review of the firm by an independent auditor.
W. Barry Nixon, COO, PreemploymentDirectory.com and publisher, said, “The Background Screening Best Practices: Insights from Accredited Background Screening Firms guide provides an opportunity for HR and Hiring professionals to gain valuable insights about the employment screening process from firms that represent the ‘best of the profession.’ Nixon added, “We are helping to educate hiring professionals and managers about employment screening practices at time when lawsuits dealing with background screening are at an all-time high. There was never a time when adherence to best practices and industry standards is more needed than now.”
As of this date, only seventy firms have earn accreditation which represents less than 3% of U.S. background screening firms.
