Checking from a Distance Article
Fred Giles, CPP and VP of Research for CARCO Group, Inc., published an article on vendor screening in Security Management's June 2010 issue. The article discusses why companies should ensure that contract employees undergo background checks, but they must not control the process as an employer would.

In essence, screening contract workers is as important as screening direct hires. As Fred notes in his article, " the challenges of doing so without creating a co-employment situation must be carefully addressed."

I think recruiters and HR practitioners will find this article interesting and informative especially in light of the recent trend of hiring temporary and contract workers to fill what used to be permanent positions. To view the article, click the link above or  visit www.carcogroup.com.
