Fake Resumes
Have you ever done a Google search, using the key words “fake resume”? If you do, you will find that there are approximately 513,000 hits for “fake resume”. The very first one that comes up when I searched it is Fake Resume – Home of the Fake Resume Guide . In reviewing the information, it appears that this site is very well written and contains a lot of useful information. Some of the key points of interest that were found are on the first page – “Isn’t this Unethical”?. The response was “…You may be saying to yourself, that adding things to your resume in wrong and unethical. Now in this post-Enron, post World-Com era it sure doesn’t seem like corporate America is too concerned with ethics”. The article continues on providing examples of how “Corporate America” is taking advantage of the worker with unpaid overtime, cutting retirement benefits, and makes reference to employers squeezing more work out of the employee “like a juicer squeezes an orange…it’s not pretty”.
What should be the scariest part for any employer is that they make an argument and offer all their advice at no charge. Anyone with internet access can get the guide for free. It gives very detailed information on how to fill in the gaps in employment history, fool proof methods to add experience to your resume, the best way to get fake references, and even how to get college transcripts from any University with any GPA you want. Hiring managers can take comfort in the fact that this particular website does not recommend anyone should lie on a job application, but only because of legal ramifications.
It appears that this guide is established to assist the job candidate in "fooling" an HR person or Hiring Manager, with the idea that both individuals may not have the time and resources needed to do a thorough background check.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Criminal Records Facts
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Criminal Records Facts
Are you checking your candidate’s criminal background as thoroughly as possible to protect your employees and your company? Here are some startling Department of Justice Statistics:
In 2004, State and Federal courts convicted a combined total of nearly 1,145,000 adults of felonies -- State courts convicted an estimated 1,079,000 adults and Federal courts convicted 66,518 adults (accounting for 6% of the national total).
In 2004, 70% of all felons convicted in State courts were sentenced to a period of confinement - 40% to State prisons and 30% to local jails. Jail sentences are for short-term confinement (usually for a year or less) in a county or city facility, while prison sentences are for long-term confinement (usually for over a year) in a State facility.
State courts sentenced 28% of convicted felons to straight probation with no jail or prison time to serve.
Prison sentences in State courts averaged almost 5 years in 2004.
The average sentence to local jail was 6 months. The average probation sentence was about 3 years.
Females accounted for a quarter of felony property offenders.
At yearend 2005, over 4.9 million adult men and women were under Federal, State, or local probation or parole jurisdiction; approximately 4,162,500 on probation and 784,400 on parole.
The 0.6% growth in the probation and parole population during 2005 -- an increase of 31,626 during the year -- was more than a fifth of the average annual increase of 2.8% since 1995.
At the end of 2005 --
Among offenders on probation, half (50 percent) had been convicted for committing a felony, 49% for a misdemeanor, and 1% for other infractions. Seventy percent of probationers were being actively supervised at the end of 2005; 9% were inactive cases and 10% had absconded. Nearly all of the offenders on parole (94%) had been sentenced to incarceration of more than 1 year. Women made up about 23% of the nation's probationers and 12% of the parolees.
Approximately 55% of the adults on probation were white, and 30% were black, and 13% were Hispanic. Forty-one percent of parolees were white, 40% black, and 18% were Hispanic.
Inmates released from prison as a result of a parole board decision dropped from 50% of all adults entering parole in 1995 to 31% in 2005, while mandatory releases based on a statutory requirement increased from 45% to 51%.
Forty-five percent of parole discharges in 2005 successfully completed their term of supervision, unchanged since 1995. Thirty-eight percent were returned to jail or prison, and 11% absconded.
By the end of 2000, 16 States had abolished parole board authority for releasing all offenders, and another 4 States had abolished parole board authority for releasing certain violent offenders.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Resume Padding
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Resume Padding - Filling in the Gaps
On How to Fake a Resume, a wonderful little tip that is provided to prospective job candidates is how to fill in the holes or gaps in work history. A great tip that was provided was to have the candidate look through business and trade magazines for obituaries of executives, one of whom may be claimed as a boss. You will be unable to contact that former supervisor for comments on the candidate. A candidate can also tell you that they took time off “for family reasons”. If a candidate tells you “I took 6 months off for family reasons. My grandfather, bless his soul…” are you really going to question it?
By doing a thorough background check and contacting everyone that can be contacted, you may find some inconsistencies that will tell you this candidate has a few potential problems. You find that during that 6 months they said they were taking care of their grandfather there may have been a “brief sabbatical” in the local county jail. While as a hiring manager or human resource person you do need to have care in which lines you cross, you should also be as thorough as possible in your screening of candidates.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Competition for Available Jobs
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Competition for Available Jobs
The US Labor Department has announced that people signing up for jobless benefits has reached its highest point over the last 6 years because of company cutbacks and the faltering economy. The week ending July 26, 208 (the most recent period for which information is available) shows that 3.3 million people were collecting unemployment benefits. Almost every industry is cutting back or at the very least tightening their belts during these difficult times.
Companies who are thinking of hiring to fill vacant positions are probably going to be receiving more applications and resumes from job candidates than ever before. How can you be sure that the candidate you decide to hire is the right one for your company? If you have 100 people apply for 1 vacant position, your human resource department is going to have their work cut out for them!
The average company will spend between $7,000 and $15,000 in the first year to hire and train someone for the position after they hire the job candidate. That is a lot of money, particularly if you have to do it more than once for a position. If the first candidate you hire doesn’t work out, you have to go through the process again.
You can help to eliminate some of the guesswork out of this by doing background checks on candidates. You don’t have to do it on all 100 applications that come in for that 1 position, but after you narrow it down to a small pool of potential candidates that appear to meet the experience or education level you need, doing a background check on those candidates can save you time, money and hassle. Depending on the services you are looking at for your background check, the average cost is approximately $100 per candidate – more if you want extensive, less if you want general. Between interviewing, background checking and possibly assessment testing, you are being as proactive as you can be to ensure that the FIRST person you bring on board with your company is going to be a good fit.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Workplace Violence
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Workplace Violence
U.S. residents suffered an annual average of 1.7 million violent workplace victimizations over the past ten years. In addition to those non-fatal workplace crimes against people 12 years old and older, there were about 900 workplace-related homicides annually during those years, according to the BJS study. Workplace violence accounted for 18 percent of all violent crime during the seven-year period.
Almost one in eight victimized workers were injured during the act of violence, about one in nine faced multiple offenders and about four in 10 had a prior relationship with the offender. In about 11 percent of the workplace homicides the offender was a coworker, former coworker or a customer. About three-quarters of all workplace violence was committed by unarmed offenders, but more than 80 percent of the workplace homicides were committed with firearms.
Of selected occupations examined over the past ten years, police officers were the most vulnerable to be victims of workplace violence, as well as correctional officers, taxicab drivers, private security workers, and bartenders. Police officers were victims of a nonfatal violent crime while they were working or on duty at a rate of 261 per 1,000 officers.
While working or on duty, U.S. residents experienced 1.7 million violent victimizations annually during the past ten years including 1.3 million simple assaults, 325,000 aggravated assaults, 36,500 rapes and sexual assaults, 70,000 robberies, and 900 homicides. Workplace violence accounted for 18% of all violent crime.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Employee Theft
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Employee Theft
Small business fraud is on the rise. Depending on which survey you look at, small businesses are classified as a business with 100-1,000 employees or even 1,000 to 5,000 employees. So if you own or operate a small business that falls in one of those two categories, what can you do to help prevent your profit margin from going out the back door in an employee pocket?
Business consultants provide some very sound advice. Their step 1 starts off with “one of the most basic steps in preventing employee fraud is not to hire employees who have stolen previously”. They continue on in their article about other steps that a company can take, but step 1 seems almost to be an obvious answer.
Check past employment history. If an employer will provide dates and title only, see if an employee is eligible for rehire. That may or may not provide some insight in to that employee. Do criminal background checks and drug screening. If an employee is a frequent drug user, they may be more prone to theft or fraud. Also call on references. Many employers don’t contact references because they feel that an employee isn’t going to provide someone who gives a bad reference. However, the employee may be giving you a list of names that sound important assuming that you won’t call.
Other things an organization can do are to host audits, both surprise audits and external audits. Also consider job rotation if that is applicable within your organization. Set up an internal anonymous reporting policy where employees can contact a tip line to report information.
Business fraud costs organizations billions of dollars a year. A study in 2006 by the Association of Certified Fraud Examines (ACFE) reported the median loss of $159,000 with organizations of fewer than 100 employees suffering disproportionate losses in occupational fraud.
Start with the basics. Do background checking on employees to start. Get programs going in the organization that will help detect fraud after the employee is hired. The steps can help a company stay healthy and profitable.

Employee Theft
Small business fraud is on the rise. Depending on which survey you look at, small businesses are classified as a business with 100-1,000 employees or even 1,000 to 5,000 employees. So if you own or operate a small business that falls in one of those two categories, what can you do to help prevent your profit margin from going out the back door in an employee pocket?
Business consultants provide some very sound advice. Their step 1 starts off with “one of the most basic steps in preventing employee fraud is not to hire employees who have stolen previously”. They continue on in their article about other steps that a company can take, but step 1 seems almost to be an obvious answer.
Check past employment history. If an employer will provide dates and title only, see if an employee is eligible for rehire. That may or may not provide some insight in to that employee. Do criminal background checks and drug screening. If an employee is a frequent drug user, they may be more prone to theft or fraud. Also call on references. Many employers don’t contact references because they feel that an employee isn’t going to provide someone who gives a bad reference. However, the employee may be giving you a list of names that sound important assuming that you won’t call.
Other things an organization can do are to host audits, both surprise audits and external audits. Also consider job rotation if that is applicable within your organization. Set up an internal anonymous reporting policy where employees can contact a tip line to report information.

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - Email Etiquette
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.
With each and every finalist candidate that we present to our clients, we also provide a complete background check. Our background checks are provided by our parent company, BackTrack Inc., www.backtracker.com. All reports provided include employment verification, education verification, social security trace report, motor vehicle report, reference checking and criminal records searches.
Email Etiquette
For good or evil, email has become one of the predominant methods of communication in the workplace. This can be emailing internally with different departments, or conversing by email with clients, sales people or department managers outside your office. Email etiquette is very important as this may be one of the first forms of communication another company has from you, and can even help protect your company from awkward liability issues.
Why should you worry about an etiquette policy? It isn’t like you don’t have enough to worry about on a daily basis running your business, but email etiquette is important for the following reasons: Professionalism, efficiency, and protection from liability.
Using proper email language will convey a professional image for your company. Emails that get to the point are much more effective than poorly worded or rambling emails, and employee awareness of email risks will protect your company from costly law suites. Some etiquette guidelines may differ, depending on the nature of your business and the corporate culture you deal with, however here are some suggestions for you if you choose to form a policy.
Be concise and to the point. Do not make it longer than it needs to be. A long email can be very discouraging to read and will frequently be deleted before you even get to the point.
Use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Improper spelling, grammar and punctuation can give a bad impression of your company. Email with no full stops or commas are difficult to read and can sometimes even change the meaning of the text.
Do not attach unnecessary files. Many companies will have an email filter that will not allow attachments to come through from an unrecognized user. Large attachments are also annoying and can cause the receiver’s email system to go down.
Do not overuse the high priority function. If everything you send out has a high priority, people who are used to receiving email from you are going to start skipping over it, thinking it is just a normal communication from you. Remember the fable of the boy who cried wolf.
Do not write in all CAPITALS. If you write in all capitals, it seems as if you are shouting. This is seen as aggressive and can be highly annoying for the receiver.
Do not use email to discuss confidential issues. Sending an email is like sending a postcard. If you don’t want your email displayed on a bulletin board, don’t send it. Also, never make libelous, sexist or racially discriminating comments in an email, even if you mean it as a joke. It isn’t funny if the email falls in to the hands of someone other than who it was addressed to.
The list continues and most of it is based on common sense. If in doubt, search the internet and just type “email etiquette” in to your search engine. There are lots of articles out there describing the do’s and don’ts of email and using email. Once you have an email policy in effect, train your people on that policy. The employees that use email need to understand the importance of email etiquette and how it reflects on your business every time that “send” button is used. If you wish or you feel it is necessary, the implementation of the rules can also be monitored by using email management software and email response tools. You may have the need to use this software or you may decide it is too “big brother”, but keep in mind that the email that leaves your company is a direct reflection on your company.
