Tommy Lawson - Background Checker

Muted the crew 4 the 1st half hr. Took away some of the liveliness but I didn't have to fight to ask a question. Aftershow hosted by @NateSigma.

Listen to internet radio with Recruiting Animal on Blog Talk Radio

This was a great show with a great guest. It was a highly informative show...even if some of the info shared was well known by the old timers in the listening audience.

Tommy Lawson was frank, knowledgeable, and shared a point of view tempered by working the underbelly of the working world we recruiters know a bit about--candidate backgrounds & background checks--and can therefore empathize and sympathize.

During the Recruiting Animal Show--I tweeted:

@APSCREEN @animal Having worked in CORRECTIONS...the scary thing is: Criminal records reflect ONLY what a person has been caught at. BOOM!

...and--

@APSCREEN @animal BTW criminal Rap Sheets reflect some charges that were plea bargained down to a lesser crime--suggesting a hidden danger.

And Animal added: "...hiding more serious issues."

Animal, BTW, orchestrated the show's interesting back-and-forth dialogue most effectively. The show didn't get bogged down...though I missed the AMPED UP ANIMAL--Kudos to him for bringing yet another show with important subject matter and content for employers, recruiters and job applicants.

If you missed it--by all means hit the PLAY button. You'll value the experience.
