			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As your company grows, you should consider integrating your <a title="Applicant Tracking Systems" href="http://www.corragroup.com/applicant-tracking-system.html">applicant tracking software </a>with your background screening system.   Operating independantly, these two Human Resources business processes require data entry for applicant data and management oversight.   When you integrate these processes, you reduce or eliminate the data entry by your human resources department.  Applicants will apply for your jobs online, complete an electronic job application and electronically sign a release form allowing your firm to conduct a background screening should you decide to clear the candidate for potential hire.  Your dashboard will allow you to review background screening information in real time and make a decision.  You can issue denials with a click of a button. </p>
<p><strong>Career Center</strong><br />
You can create a <a title="Online Career Center for Job Hires" href="http://www.corragroup.com/career-center.html">online career center</a> for your firm.   Take your organizational chart and upload job requirements for each position.  As position become open in your firm, post a job based on your requirements, or modify your requirements.  As your org chart changes, store and modify these changes online. </p>
<p>The ease of integration will save your administrative time, cut costs, and attract savvy employees.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And you thought you were going to get the job right?  <a title="Background Checks" href="http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_10556762">Mercury News </a>has an article about how the Nevada Department of Public Safety inaccurately reported back minor misdemeanor crimes such as DUI records on thousands of individuals.   Apparently most of the searches were for Gambling-related companies, that probably must have a high standard for <a title="Criminal History Background Checks" href="http://www.corragroup.com">criminal history background checks</a> in order to meet federal and state compliance.</p>
<blockquote><p>The agency used a list of crimes not found in state laws to find that some applicants shouldn&#8217;t be hired. The list, which included misdemeanor DUIs and other minor crimes, was in a bill considered but not approved by the 2003 Legislature.</p></blockquote>
<p>The article touches upon the subject of application notifcation and whether the job applicants received an adverse action letter based on the background check. </p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: left;">Capt. Phil O&#8217;Neill, who runs the division, said he didn&#8217;t know of anyone who lost a job over the mistake, adding they might not have been hired for other reasons.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This response sounds like code speak for &#8220;we found somebody better qualified&#8221; in which the company wouldn&#8217;t have to issue an adverse action letter.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/alabama-criminal-justice-information-center/story.aspx?guid=%7B6FA95416-CD07-4B2C-A63D-A622E827A02D%7D&amp;dist=hppr">The State of Alabama </a>is now offering employers Alabama statewide criminal record search for $25.00.  These searches can be ordered directly from their Alabama website or, if you use a third party background check provider, like <a title="Background Checks" href="http://www.corragroup.com">Corra Background Checks</a>, you allow them to access the criminal record information on your behalf.</p>
<blockquote><p>ABC system reports include felony and misdemeanor arrests compiled from information provided by Alabama law enforcement agencies,&#8221; stated Mitchell. &#8220;ACJIC has also gone a step further by combining forces with Alabama&#8217;s court and public safety agencies to provide employers with a more comprehensive Alabama records check, including available Alabama circuit, district, and local court records for the past seven years and court cases that are currently pending.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Some of the downsides to this system are the additional step of having your applicants sign an ABC compliant release form.  Further, by providing arrest record information to employers, employers need to exercise caution when making adverse action decisions if they base this information on arrest records only and not convictions.   Adverse actions not based on convictions might not be allowed by Federal law under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.</p>
