Redesigned Web Site

Pretiem, a leading national pre-employment screening company, today announced the re-design of its web site. Found at www.pretiem.com, the site provides human resource professionals nationwide with a secure, easy-to-use browser-based online environment for ordering and receiving background screening products.

Unique to a highly competitive market, Pretiem is the first company to provide free access to browser-based services. Unlike industry standard software screening products, accessing and ordering through the web requires little training time and is fully self-explanatory. Because Pretiem's system is completely web-based, software installation and maintenance are not required.

"To meet our customers' needs, we have added more product-specific information as well as regulatory agency documents and legal information," said Keith Smoak, Operations Manager, who joined the company in July. "Visitors can find this information faster on the redesigned site because links to key areas have moved to a higher level, means fewer clicks for the user."

The site contains eight reorganized sections containing such information as extensive product descriptions, regulatory agency documents, a career center, and a first-time user demo. Customer ordering and traffic to pretiem.com has remained strong since we debuted the site in July 1999," said Smoak. "We expect our revamped site will attract more customers to stay longer, as it is now better aligned with their thinking as they seek information or order reports."

"With an exorbitant cost per hire—ranging from $800 for clerical and administrative positions to $15,000 for executive positions—hiring the wrong employee can be costly," said Smoak. "We partner with human resource professionals to help them make informed decisions about potential employees. Our web-based system allows us to tie our staff into the hiring manager's office. The browser enables the hiring manager to look over our shoulder and see information on their candidate as it is being developed."

Through its headquarters in Princeton, New Jersey, Pretiem supplies pre-employment screening reports for America's Human Resource managers. In today's business world, employers recognize that identifying and hiring the right personnel ultimately makes the greatest contribution to their company. Pretiem's reports are prepared by field experts ensuring accuracy and quality, and are customized to meet individual company needs. Products and services include background checks on previous employment, education, credit history, social security, and criminal records.
