VerifyProtect Partners to Provide Even More Cost-Effective Background Screening Options

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

It’s official!  VerifyProtect has solidified its partnership with MidAtlantic Employers’ Association (MEA) to provide even more customized employment background screening solutions, implementation services and drug screening program’s to MEA’s membership (current more than 700 companies.)

If you’re not familiar with MEA, it’s the mid-Atlantic region’s largest source for human resources, employee training and development services, and business counseling and problem-solving.  MEA works with small and mid-sized businesses, the ideal fit for VerifyProtect, a background screening powerhouse!

Notes Kristina Taylor, president of VerifyProtect, “This new relationship allows VerifyProtect to help MEA’s members not only make secure hiring decisions but to also ensure their companies are comprised of quality employees.”  She adds, “We’re excited to join MEA’s portfolio of innovative partnerships!”

MEA is equally thrilled with the relationship, as Jim Devine, president and CEO, MEA, attests:  “VerifyProtect.com’s business philosophy is closely aligned with MEA’s as a ‘customers-first’ organization that focuses on delivering value at every opportunity.  That’s why we’re partnering with them as our provider of choice for screening services going forward.”

  • Who’s Behind That Mask?

    Every time a candidate for a job steps in front of you, he or she is wearing a mask.  It’s a mask made up of many levels, and there’s no telling if one of those levels could be a devastating secret that could harm your company.

    What secrets could be hiding behind the applicant’s mask?  Statistics suggest that any of the following could be lurking:

    → Fudged resume dates.

    → Falsified education records and credentials.

    → Lies about past employers.

    → Felony offenses (or other criminal offenses) that occurred in your (or another) state.

    → Terrible credit history.

    → A bad driving record.

    The scariest part?  You can’t tell what’s behind the mask with your eyes alone. 

    This is why, as an employer, you must protect your business with pre-employment background screening.  Otherwise, when the applicant’s mask falls to the floor, you and your organization could be left in a very scary position.

  • Background screening - a possible measure of security in economic uncertainty

    Monday, April 6th, 2009

    The economy.  It’s on every business person’s mind.  Yet it’s critical not to allow the unpredictability of the future to cause corporate financial paralysis. 

    What’s corporate financial paralysis?  It’s a disease with roots deeply embedded in the human psyche.  And for small and medium sized companies, it can lead to the demise of sales and service.

    To counteract this kind of paralysis, companies need to spend in order to reap.  Of course, we all know that money doesn’t grow on trees, but spending (and planning to spend) wisely is necessary. 

    One way to assure monies are well-invested may be to implement background screening of prospective employees.  Though many modestly-sized businesses can be hesitant to incorporate background checks into their hiring practices, it can truly be a measure of security.  After all, putting the wrong person into place is much more expensive over time than making sure the right person is offered the job.

    Even in tight economic times, it pays to be savvy.  Yes, frugality is a key to staying afloat, but don’t lock up your corporate coffers too tightly.  Spend a little with measures like pre-employment background screening, and you may just find that you gain a staff that is perfectly suited to weather fiscal storms.
