USA: More than 40 Veteran-Friendly Employers and 500 Military Veteran Job-Seekers expected at the California Center for the Arts in Escondido on Thursday, December 13, 2007
The military-to-civilian recruiting firm RecruitMilitary will present a free hiring event for job seekers who have military backgrounds in the San Diego Region on Thursday, December 13. Two deserving veterans will receive tickets to the final Chargers' home game against the Denver Broncos as part of RecruitMilitary's efforts to bring visibility to the veteran hiring issue. This event, the RecruitMilitary Career Fair, will take place from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. at California Center for the Arts, Escondido.
The career fair will be open to veterans who already have civilian work experience, men and women who are transitioning from active duty to civilian life, members of the National Guard and reserves and military spouses. More than 35 veteran-friendly organizations will conduct one-on-one interviews with the job seekers -- organizations that will include corporate employers, law-enforcement agencies and other government employers, educational institutions, veterans service agencies and veterans associations.
If the work of outsourced security and screening service providers seems increasingly critical to HR organizations' hiring processes, it's because it is. More than ever, employers face compliance pressures and concerns about their liability.
Under mounting federal and state pressure to screen out illegal aliens and those with questionable backgrounds from their candidate pools, employers are turning to outsourcing more than ever to help them meet regulatory mandates, spot potentially troublesome workers, and minimize their organizations' exposure. Whether these services are a quick web-portal search or an end-to-end solution that covers many facets of a candidate's background, screening service providers are harnessing improved technology, easier access of public records, and a maturing network of subcontractors.
For buyers, this means screening results are becoming more accurate, timely, and less costly to generate—a development that is a testament to a dynamic market. At the same time, solutions are becoming more integrated with HRIS and recruitment software so users can easily process and onboard their new employees.
Helping the industry make this goal a reality are the 13 service providers listed here. As the biggest and most progressive vendors in corporate screening, these companies have a bead on what employers want. Of course they're not the only ones to have a finger on the pulse of the screening market, but this year's Baker's Dozen are at the forefront of trends, continually advancing the delivery of screening services. If you are in the market to outsource, you might want to start with this group; but remember, there are many vendors offering a variety of solutions as robust and cost-effective as the ones you'll find here. Your biggest challenge will be deciding which services are the most appropriate for your particular need.
Methodology: This list was developed by contacting 25 screening providers and requesting the number of employees screened in 2006. We asked how many individuals were searched, not how many different searches were conducted. Respondents were also asked who their top competitors were. Their votes were then tallied to determine the Baker's Dozen. Providers are not ranked because the number of employees screened by each company cannot be independently verified since not all are public companies and are not required to publicly disclose those numbers. Buyer's choice designations are awarded to the three providers with the most number of clients who participated in an online HRO Today satisfaction survey and who gave positive ratings of their experience with outsourcing screening services.
* The number of employees screened in 2006 was provided by the vendors.
