The Employment Screening Journal is the first magazine specifically focused on providing human resource professionals in depth information on employment screening practices.
Lake Forest, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2008 -- PreemploymentDirectory.com today announced the launch of The Employment Screening Journal; a new magazine that will help hiring managers and human resource professionals gain important insights about effective tools, technology, emerging practices and legal issues to enhance their screening practices. With the talent wars heating up The Employment Screening Journal will be a valuable tool in helping firms to select the best talent and avoid making bad hires.
According to PreemploymentDirectory.com's President, W. Barry Nixon, "In today's tumultuous times Businesses have a greater need to know whom they are hiring more so than ever before with employee fraud, internal and identity theft at all time highs, the US government relentlessly focused on reducing the hiring of illegal immigrants, more than 40% of applicants misrepresenting information on their resumes, diploma mills continuing to flourish and fear of workplace violence and/or terrorism persisting. There has never been a greater need for a reliable source of information to assist businesses in selecting the right talent and avoid hiring the wrong people."
The Employment Screening Journal will fill a void that exist currently despite there being numerous magazines focused on Human Resource Management. Popular HR publications such as HR Magazine and
