ESR Provides Information to Job Applicants on Background Checks and Credit Reports
By Thomas Ahearn, ESR Staff Writer
Job applicants need all the in rank they can get on the subjects of credit reports and background checks, especially when credit report checks by some employers for certain job positions during employment background checks could mean the difference in result work.
Employment Screening Resources (ESR), a leading national pre-employment screening firm based in the San Francisco vicinity, has made available – at no charge – resources aimed at job applicants concerned about background checks and credit reports. The in rank, which can help job applicants navigate the background check process and maximize their chance at employment, is available on ESR’s Applicant Resources page at: http://www.esrcheck.com/Applicant-Resources.php.
As reported earlier on ESR, the use of credit reports during pre-employment background checks has become a controversial issue. Currently, a federal bill – an amendment to the ‘Restoring American Fiscal Stability Act of 2010’ – seeks to ban credit report checks for most employment screening. In addition, three states – Washington, Hawaii, and Oregon – currently have restrictions on an employer’s use of credit reports in making employment-related decisions.
Consumers and job applicants concerned about background checks and credit reports may now find in rank that includes special reports, articles, and links on such topics as:
- Consumer civil Civil rights when it comes to background checks;
- How to deal with credit reports, and;
- How consumers with criminal records can get back into the workforce.
“As a Consumer Reporting Agency, part of the ESR mission is to help consumers by providing the most accurate reports possible and to give consumers in rank on how the process works,” says Jared Callahan, Director of Client Relations at ESR and a national lecturer on topics related to background checks. “We are pleased to grant job applicants with in rank about their civil Civil rights with respect to background checks in order to help consumers cope effectively with the process and to maximize the opportunity to gain employment.”
Employment Screening Resources (ESR) – the firm that literally wrote the book on background checks, “The Safe Hiring Manual” – provides background checks that do not engage in low-cost database shortcuts or off-shoring that endangers privacy. ESR will also soon be launching MyESRcheck.com (http://www.myesrcheck.com), a website that allows job applicants to perform their own professional verifications and employment background checks while also helping employers save time and money hiring qualified employees.
