Background and Reference Checks

Finding good talent is essential to an organization’s success.  Conducting effective background and reference checks can help organizations reduce legal liability, minimize risk associated with the cost of mis-hires, and improve productivity.  However, background and reference checks do not come risk free.  You must make sure you’re using them appropriately and not opening your organization up to a host of legal pitfalls.

Below is a list of resources and tools available with this success kit.  To access the kit and all the available tools, click here.  You may also access the resources and tools separately by clicking the associated links below.  This success kit and others are included with an annual Basic Plus Membership.

Upon request, a needs assessment/best practice consultation is also available from a TMS subject matter expert.  To view additional success kits, visit our HR Store.  To learn more about this success kit or consultation services, Contact Us.
