Safe Hiring Expert to Present Five Hour Seminar on Background Checks in San Francisco on December 4

December 01, 2012 posted by Steve Brownstein

Attorney and safe hiring expert Lester S. Rosen, Founder and CEO of background check firm Employment Screening Resources (ESR), will present a five hour seminar titled “Conducting Background Checks Thoroughly and Legally” for the Northern California Human Resources Association (NCHRA) on Tuesday, December 4, 2012 from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM PST at the NCHRA Training Center, 425 California Street, Suite 500, in San Francisco, California. For information and to register for the seminar, which qualifies for 5 General/MCLE Recertification credits, visit http://m360.nchra.org/event.aspx?eventID=45969.
“Just one bad hire can result in a legal and financial nightmare,” warns Rosen, author of ‘The Safe Hiring Manual,’ a comprehensive guide to background checks recently expanded for a 2nd edition. “Employers need to take steps to implement a legally compliant screening program to hire the best employees.”

With negligent hiring one of the fastest growing areas of employment litigation, attendees of Rosen’s seminar “Conducting Background Checks Thoroughly and Legally” – which includes a one hour lunch break – will learn legally complaint best practices to keep their businesses productive and out of court:

Conducting past employment checks
Obtaining and utilizing criminal records
Verifying education using social networking sites
Selecting and evaluating a screening firm

Rosen will also discuss federal laws that control the background check process, such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), unique “only in California” rules, the updated Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Guidance on using criminal records, and the impact of the new National Association of Professional Background Screeners (NAPBS) accreditation standards for U.S. screening firms.

The seminar “Conducting Background Checks Thoroughly and Legally” will help those people responsible for supervising, implementing, or administering pre-employment screening background checks make certain their organizations do not hire workers who are dangerously unfit, unqualified, or dishonest. Registration for the seminar is $249 for NCHRA Members and $329 for General Admission.

The speaker Rosen is a nationally recognized safe hiring expert who was the chairperson of the steering committee that founded the NAPBS and served as the first co-chairman. He is a frequent presenter nationwide for the “ESR Speaks” background check training program.
