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.
To Contact Current or Not?
If a candidate is “reaching”, “tuning” or “shading” their resume, they will frequently tell you not to contact a current employer. Candidates are advised that this makes them appear more valuable within an organization. They are advised to check a “no” box even if they are not currently employed. The theory behind this is that a candidate who is currently employed is a more desirable prospect than one who is unemployed. A candidate may also say “no” to contacting a current employer especially if they list that they are currently working for a major competitor. The hiring companies love to “steal” current employees from another firm or competitor. Because they checked no to calling that current employer, you as a hiring manager or HR service person may never check to see if that person ever did work with that company. A hiring company rarely will follow up on a job candidates’ application or resume once that person has been hired with their company. It is recommended that if you hire someone who indicated “no” on a job application to contacting current, that this employer be called once an offer has been made to the candidate or the candidate starts working with your company. If you had your candidate fill out a job application, and later you find that the candidate never did work for that current employer that was listed, you will be able to take action based on the falsification of the application that was submitted to you. It is always a good idea to follow up on current employment verification once an offer has been made or a candidate starts with your company.

Filtration, Water Treatment, Waste Water Industry Recruiter
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.
Today, more than any other time in our industry, more and more employers are requesting completed background checks prior to extending an offer to a potential candidate. With this in mind, it is very important that you, the candidate, provide a very clear and honest picture of your background to a potential new employer.
As with many situations, preparation is the key to success. The job market is very competitive and you probably will not be the only qualified candidate for a position. The deciding factor may simply be your background check. One minor exaggeration are dates of employment or degree, may remove you from the running. As a Filtration Recruiter, I have seen candidates not be considered for positions by what has been verified or not verified on their background check.
Do you do background checks?
A lot of corporations indicate that they perform mandatory employment reference checks on every single applicant. But do they? Are background checks being skipped or only partially completed? In today’s environment you as the hiring manager or human resource person in charge of hiring are rushed and hurried. There simply isn't enough time in the day to do everything you need to do, as well as to make repeated calls to past employers/supervisors or get reference questions in the mail to references. Do you have a work environment where if there is a mistake made on a check you will be held responsible? Or, are you a hiring manager or HR contact who goes by “gut feel” and knows that you are a great judge of character and can pick the best candidate out of a crowd of potential employees? Job candidates who have a tendency to pad or fluff their resumes love to find out that a thorough background check isn’t being done. You may hire this candidate, he works out for the first couple of months and then starts recommending some of his buddies and friends when he hears of additional job openings in your organization. This could certainly be a recipe for disaster!

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 - How Much Experience Does Your Job Candidate Really Have?
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.
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.

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 - State: P.S.: Your M.A. or Ph.D. may be B.S.
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.
State: P.S.: Your M.A. or Ph.D. may be B.S.
A fire chief, a state representative and a top hospital administrator. All three of these positions are positions of authority and positions of trust to the general public. When headlines like this are made it provides both negative publicity to the organization and a feeling of concern and/or distrust by the general public for that organization. The negative publicity could have been avoided had the organizations done an employment screening check on the individual prior to their being placed in the position of trust.
Many organizations and companies feel that to do the background check may be too expensive or too time consuming. However, the negative publicity that is generated is far more damaging and expensive than the cost of the background check. Most of the reputable screening agencies would have been able to tell an employer or organization that the education documents presented were from questionable institutions or from institutions that are not recognized by one of the post-secondary accrediting agencies recognized in the United States.
BackTracking through a candidate's resume or application can save an organization from embarrassment and potential litigation. Compared to the couple of dollars spent for a background check, each organization has to decide their priorities.
