Cheezhead Recruiting News and Opinion

Monster has announced the availability of candidate background screening services through the global job board.

The background screening services will be offered through an alliance with HireRight, a global employment screening provider. Monster said the partnership will help streamline the candidate background-check process for businesses, increase the quality of new hires and help reduce liability. The service will be integrated with the Monster.com desktop and candidate management tools.

“At a time when resources and budgets may be limited, hiring the best candidate the first time is critical for return on your recruitment investment and ultimately strong business performance. The wrong hire can cost a business time, resources and revenue,” said Puneet Bhasin, SVP of employer product & technology, Monster. “This new service provided by HireRight is a natural extension of Monster’s offering, designed to ensure that the talent search and acquisition process is highly effective, affordable and that employers find the right person for the job.”

“HireRight is pleased to provide Monster with a streamlined solution for employers to reduce employment-related risks and improve hiring decisions,” said David Nachman, vice president of business development at HireRight. “Monster clients can now confirm the credentials provided by job candidates with speed and convenience, from within their Monster account.”

Monster customers can choose from a variety of HireRight package options. Background searches can be ordered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including:

* County, National and Federal criminal records checks
* Employment verification – past employment dates, job titles and positions
* Social Security Number validation
* Address history
* Motor vehicle records check – driver’s license status and violations

Other searches are available by package and on an a la carte basis.
