Mr. Owens will be presenting, “Background Checks an Emerging Differentiator Among Staffing Firms? “

Mr. Owens explains, “If you’re not talking about your sophisticated, complete candidate screening solution with your customers, beware: your competitors are. And they’re winning in your market. Background checks no longer need to be a pesky cost-driver for your business; a painful check in a box. Addressed early in your sales cycle and in partnership with a capable screening firm, your background check offering can quickly differentiate your staffing services from those of a competitor, increasing your sales, productivity and retention of key accounts.”

Owens continues, “The fact is that resume fraud, illegal immigration, and negligent hiring lawsuits are on the rise. This has driven greater than 20% annual growth in the employment screening market – and as a staffing firm, that growth means your customers are proactively paying for more and better screening services. It only makes sense, then, that you can and should bring tremendous knowledge, buying power, and flexible employment screening offerings to your customers, streamlining their process and offering them a solution to a need they clearly have and are willing to pay to remedy. By presenting a comprehensive array of robust and price-competitive screening options in collaboration with your unique staffing solution, your prospect will immediately have a higher level of trust in the quality of those you place, and greater loyalty to you, their partner and staffing expert.”
