As Edward Snowden prepared to defend himself in a worldwide webinar, the Justice Department accused the private contractor that vetted him and thousands of other intelligence workers of bilking U.S. taxpayers out of tens of millions of dollars by conducting 665,000 fake background checks between 2008 and 2012, with a scheme known as “dumping” or “flushing” in order to boost the firm’s profits.
No dumping at POE, no Flushing at POE.
By contrast, to the Justice Department’s experience, the vast majority of screening agencies, including the major players, provide honest, ethical investigations and we are proud to stand with the others in our industry.
But…no agency vets criminal records like POE…none!
The highlights of POE’s Speed Screen employment screening are our vetting of criminal records and our Credibility Interview. We speak with every applicant.
The single best verification contact on any pre-employment application screening is POE’s Credibility Interview, a professional, respectful, easy flowing conversation with the candidate during which we are drawing out information the applicant did not intend to share with you, securing names of employers omitted from the application, and examining the integrity of the application.
It is not the same interview as those conducted by HR or the hiring supervisor. Celebrating over 40 years in business, POEknows best, how to screen your prospective employees.
