How run a background check on potential executives

Hiring a new executive today can be a frustrating and expensive enterprise. You want to attract and retain top management talent, but in this recession you might be hindered by a shrinking personnel budget and bewildered by the flood of seemingly qualified candidates’ resumes.    Using a recruiter can assist in your pursuit of a qualified candidate but the commission rates can be expensive.   You can save money by implementing an applicant tracking system, such as CATS  (a SaaS) which will help you screen and filter job candidates based on qualifications.  Candidates will signup for your jobs online on your website and provide you the application information, including a electronic signature. 

Complete Integrated Background Screening
You may want to consider using Corra Group’s applicant tracking system, which is fully integrated with their background screening service.   After you candidate’s have signed up, you can decided which candidates to send through the background screening process.  Corra makes the background checks easy by providing you with various screening packages, including an Executive Screening Package called the “Corner Office”, which retails for about $179 per candidate.    This package not only provided criminal records search, employment and education verification, but also looks for federal crimes and county civil actions.   You can never be too careful in this age of corporate unethics.

Lastly, consider your overall background screening policy and decide whether to review social networking sites such as LinkedIn, etc. to determine if your candidate identity could be confusing to your public. As an executive, the public identity must be consistent or our corporate message is muddled up.
