My name is Lisa Sprowls and I am a Filtration Recruiter. I work on many sales/ engineering/executive/ and management level positions serving the search and recruitment needs of both large and small manufacturers and distributors in the Filtration/Water & Wastewater/ Separations/and Environmental Industries.

Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com.

How Much Experience Does Your Job Candidate Really Have?
When a candidate applies for a position with your company, and they advise they have 10 years of experience, do you check? Do you know if this means they have 10 years of experience with 1 or possibly 2 employers, or do they have 1 year of experience with 10 employers? There are some things that might be useful to consider before hiring that candidate. You can interview or provide written tests with questions pertaining to the particular skill set experience level the candidate should have. You can also do a technical interview on the phone to determine the knowledge and skills set of your candidate. A professional background screener can also take an application or resume and contact these employers for information. You can find out if that 10 years experience is with one employer or 10 different employers.
There are several tips and guides on the internet to help candidates make a resume that may show more experience than they actually have. One great trick – if you are the employer and are looking for someone and advertised you wish 5 years of experience. The candidate may have 2 years with a current employer. They will list that employer with the dates of employment unaltered. They can then insert or add additional employers after that, but not put in the years worked. Of course the company they are adding or inserting is usually closed, out of business, and frequently located in a different state or even country. Often a former supervisor (usually non-existent) will be listed as well. Because this was in another state, you as a hiring manager generally will not have had any contact with that person through a networking group and of course that supervisor will be unavailable because the company is out of business. Most candidates who pad their resume are hoping that if you get a favorable response from the most recent supervisor, you will be satisfied with those results.
