Pre-employment screening products - 03/2001

-

PeopleWise, part of Lexis-Nexis Risk Solutions Group and an online pre-employment screening company, has introduced a web-based version of its popular pre-employment screening software for employers called PeopleWise.net.

Human resource and hiring managers, recruiters and corporate security professionals can access fully encrypted pre-employment screening reports anytime, anywhere via any web browser to make quick, informed hiring decisions.

The web application features:
- Online user guide and 128-bit SSL data security capabilities.
- Simplified InstaCheck(TM), a product to verify applicant's name, address, social security number and telephone number in less than 10 seconds.
- Real-time updates on all pending screening requests made to PeopleWise so users will know the status of reports being processed and when they will be available.
- Fully integrated Employment Law Help System from Littler Mendelson law firm that includes all required release forms and letters along with simple instructions for compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

In addition, a new web-based enterprise version is now available for companies that hire from multiple locations. The enterprise product allows companies to centralize reporting, request standards, quality control and billing - and is customizable.

On paper, applicants may possess the education, work experience and skills for the job, but polished resumes may not reveal hidden liabilities. Poor hiring decisions often mean lost production time, money and a decrease in employee morale - all costly mistakes for any employer, said PeopleWise president Gary Cornick.

The web applications significantly enhance the ability of our client companies to conduct fast, efficient online background checks. The enhancements are based on new and evolving needs of clients as well as advances in technology that have allowed us to expand our services and increase the speed of existing services.
