Peoplewise Background Screening Software Enables Companies to Safeguard Their Businesses
New Screening Software On Display At American Society of Industrial Security International's 45th Annual Conference in Las Vegas.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (9-22-99) - Hiring the wrong employee can be a costly experience as many companies have discovered. Getting referrals from past employers can help in the decision-making process, but ultimately, knowing something about that potential employee's background can mean the difference in a long-lasting working relationship or high turnover resulting in billions of dollars lost - or worse. The media has shown the barrage of criminal activity that can happen in the workplace, and in most instances the company is left with the question: "what could have been done to prevent it?"
How, then, do companies take the most effective security measures? One solution is software from PeopleWise, LLC, which enables companies to do a fast and thorough background search on any potential employee.
PeopleWise will demonstrate just how effective and cost-efficient this solution is at the American Society of Industrial Security International's 45th annual conference, Sept. 27-29 in Las Vegas.
More than 15,000 security professionals from over 60 countries are expected to attend the three-day conference. ASIS is recognized as the world's largest membership organization for security practitioners.
"At PeopleWise, we fully understand the risks associated with the hiring process. Our goal is to provide the most efficient, convenient and accurate employee background information in a cost-effective manner," said Gary Cornick, president of PeopleWise.
Cornick said that in the wake of the increasing amount criminal activity in the workplace such as embezzlement, fraud, shootings, and theft, companies have an even greater need for security measures in hiring practices.
PeopleWise offers a number of products that assist employers in making informed hiring decisions. The InstaCheck report is available to the user in seconds and verifies information such as name, aliases, current and previous addresses, social security and telephone numbers.
