Employment Verifications and Reference Checks Covered in Upcoming Free Webinar

Purcellville, VA (I-Newswire) November 3, 2010 - Proforma Screening Solutions announces its upcoming webinar, “Employment Verifications and Reference Checks: There Must Be a Better Way” to be held on November 17, 2010 at 2:00 EST. The webinar addresses the standard approach and its value when it comes to assessing a candidate for employment.

Proforma contends that the standard employment verification and reference check, while important from a due diligence standpoint, falls far short when it comes to delivering predictive intelligence in a cost effective manner.

“We have a solution to a sentiment we hear all too often: ‘There must be a better way’”, explains Michael Gaul, VP of Business Development at Proforma Screening Solutions. “Typical employment verifications and reference checks do a fine job with the basic dates-and-positions verification but they leave too much on the table when it comes to what we could potentially know from the very people who have worked with and supervised our job candidates.”

A staple in the background screening process, reference checks and employment verifications were originally designed for employers to gain insight into on-the-job characteristics of prospective employees. Today, for fear of defamation lawsuits, most organizations disallow their employees to offer any type of feedback to verification inquiries beyond basic employment dates and positions held.

Proforma’s upcoming webinar addresses the role of reference verifications in the hiring process, why reference checks have decreased in value, and how to put value back in the reference check process. The company discusses its solution for performing reference verifications that are higher quality, more cost effective, and more time efficient than ever. The webinar will also address how to gain predictive intelligence in a convenient, accessible, and scalable online format.
