Can you rely on instant background screening? How does immigration verification fit in? Find out how much of background screening you can do electronically — and when you’ll need to get your hands dirty to keep your company out of a negligent-hire situation!

Has negligent hiring changed from “the employer never did the background check” to “the background check was inadequate or incomplete”? Can you get an adequate and complete background check without hands-on intervention? The key is to know the federal and state laws regarding background screening and immigration compliance— and what kind of information is available electronically versus what you’ll need to research manually.

Based on the presenters’ extensive experience and knowledge, Sleuthing 101: How to Avoid Hiring the Employee From Hell gives you a comprehensive discussion of federal and state background-screening laws, including changes in state and federal immigration laws, the Form I-9, and use of the Department of Homeland Security employment verification system.

Join the experts in background screening and immigration and employment laws, Barry Nadell and Robert Divine, as they reveal the critical steps you need to consider to prevent mistakenly hiring an employee who may harm your company’s reputation, to comply with increasing requirements of state and federal authorities, and to avoid discrimination and other suits that can arise from “going too far.”

Here's some of what you'll learn in this information-packed, eye-opening conference:
