Pre-screening Employees
Careful pre-employment screening can drastically decrease the number of inappropriate individuals that end up on the payroll. Drug screening and background checks often weed out the worst of these applicants, enabling companies to avoid many of the worst hiring mistakes. The most difficult of unsuitable applicants to avoid hiring aren’t the drug addicts or those with criminal backgrounds. Often sneaking by even the most astute hiring managers are applicants that lack the skills necessary to complete the tasks associated with their job titles.
