The following is a brief introduction to
our services and answers to frequently asked questions. Please
contact Supersoft by e-mail,
fax,
or
phone for additional
information. We only provide pre-employment screening services
to businesses only.
 |
Why pre-screen?
Employers have become painfully aware of the
tremendous consequences of bad hiring decisions.
Pre-screening promotes safe and profitable workplace.
It ensures success by minimizing people risk! Pre-employment
screening is an effective risk management tool that
has been proven to significantly reduce the risk
of a bad hire. Reasons for Employment Screening:
 |
To
ensure you are hiring the right people. |
 |
To discourage
applicants with something to hide -- just
having a pre-screening program discourages
applicants with a criminal background or falsified
credentials to apply for your positions. |
 |
To eliminate uncertainty
in the hiring process -- Employers have discovered
that relying on instinct alone is not enough.
Hard facts about your future team mate is
essential. |
 |
Due Diligence
-- all employers have a reasonable duty of
care in the hiring process. This means an
employer must take reasonable steps to determine
whether an employee is fit for a particular
job. |
 |
To encourage honesty
in the application and interview process--Employers
find that just having a background program
will encourage applicants to be more forthcoming
about their history. |
Performing background screenings is not a guarantee
that every bad applicant will be discovered but
its rather a precautionary measure leading to minimizing
of risks from bad hires. Engaging in a good screening
program with due diligence and provides an employer
with a great deal of legal protection. |
|
 |
How we do it?
Our program is integrated seamlessly in the hiring
process. After receiving your applicant's written
consent, SUPERSOFT searches numerous public and
private records, and contacts schools, licensing
authorities, previous employers, professional institutions
and personal references.
Supersoft is also available for consultations with
our clients on background screening issues. |
|
 |
Is it legal?
All SUPERSOFT procedures comply fully with applicable
legal standards. By using SUPERSOFT, employers legally
protect themselves, and ensure that the rights of
their applicants are being respected.
As an additional service, ESR will provide an applicant
with the appropriate notices of adverse action |

How long does it take?
UPERSOFT reports are normally provided within
five - seven working days in an easy to use written
format. The reports highlights and summarize important
information. For example, when a firm orders a verification
report from us, we will give our client a breakdown
of the important facts and highlight items that
employers may be concerned about. In addition, where
there is any negative information found, SUPERSOFT
will provide guiedence on accepted industry standards
for the use of that information.
In a situation where information is delayed for
reasons beyond our control, such as the time to
pull court records in sme cases, will sent you a
written report within seven days. The report will
indicate the reason for the delay, and when the
supplement is expected. With SUPERSOFT clients are
always informed up-to-date. |

less than the cost of a new hire on just the first

 |
Does Employment Screening risk alienating applicants?
The procedure is non-intrusive and respects a
applicant's privacy rights. Good applicants are
also anxious to work with qualified co-workers in
a safe workplace.
Our release form advises your applicant that:
”A background check is not only for the benefit
of the company as a sound business practice, but
also for the benefit of all employees.” |
|
 |
What's involved in setting up a screening program?
| As part of the hiring process, your applicant
signs the release forms we provide. They can either
fax the forms to SUPERSOFT or may
sign them online. |
|
 |
What if our company needs the information right away?
|
In the case of rush hire, an expedited report service is available when possible.
|
|
 |
Why should a firm outsource this service?
Employment screening is a time consuming and
detailed task that requires highly specialized knowledge
base and resources. It is also subject to numerous
legal regulations. Many firms have found that it
is an inefficient use of their time and resources
to attempt to perform a service so specialized and
is benefial to have to outsourced efficiently and
cost-effectively.
Even firms with fully staffed Human Resources or
Security departments have found that outsourcing
this service is more efficient and allows them to
focus on tasks that can only be performed inside
the company. Many HR and Security professionals
also prefer that a new employee's first contact
with their department not be a background check.
Also, outsourcing this service does not leave a
new employee feeling that confidential information
about them is being obtained by peers within the
firm. |
