SUMMARY:It’s Not Old School At All: Why You Need Background Checks and Pre-hire Assessments in Your Hiring Process
DESCRIPTION:This course will be held virtually on August 12\, 2025\, from 11:00am to 12:00pm. The course minimum is 10 people and limited to 30 people. \nWelsh & Associates offers next level talent acquisition courses\, geared to those who need to improve their talent acquisition process or need to take a deeper dive into strategies that will help them improve their hiring outcomes. \nThis course will dispel the notion that reference checking is old school\, nobody does background checks anymore\, and pre-hire assessments are a waste of time. We’ll review how they work\, why they work\, and how the use of good tools in the hiring process can make all the difference in getting the right person on your team. Participants will leave with a plan for how they can implement background checks and pre-hire assessments into their hiring processes and significantly reduce their chances of making a “bad hire.” \nThis course would be beneficial to business owners or anyone with talent acquisition responsibilities. \nPoint Value: 1
