EmployeeScreenIQ Survey Asks HR Professionals to Share Their Perspective on Background Screening Trends

CLEVELAND / APRIL 28, 2010 — How important are background checks in the hiring process? Which matters more: criminal background checks or credit reports? Where do contractors fit in?

Human resources managers can voice their opinions about these and other issues related to background screening in a new survey launched by EmployeeScreenIQ, a global background screening provider. The brief survey also covers attitudes about emerging issues, education and employment history fraud, laws to protect job applicants, and more.

Those who complete the survey will be entered into a prize drawing for an Amazon Kindle E-reader. All participants will receive an executive summary of the survey results when they become available in June.

The survey can be taken by visiting: http://hrmarketer.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3Ueudx020TqNCwA&SVID=

Other survey topics revolve around social networking, how hiring managers view screening reports, and which screening services are used most often by employers.

“Over the years EmployeeScreenIQ has been at the forefront of identifying trends that shape the employment screening industry,” said Nick Fishman, chief marketing officer of EmployeeScreenIQ. “However, social networking, diploma mills, and other hot topics are quickly transforming the world of background checks. So we’re turning to HR professionals across North America to share their experiences and insights.”
