Small businesses continue to hire, according to Intuit

(Information obtained via Mia Lamar, Dow Jones Newswires). This correlates with the report we blogged about last week – stating that there has been an increase in pre-employment screening among businesses across the country. ”To successfully navigate such a dynamic environment, employers are actively seeking the best practices for hiring and screening that will help them ensure they are making the best decisions for keeping their workforces engaged, productive and safe,” said Andy Macdonald, President & Chief Executive Officer of First Advantage. While unemployment remains high, those businesses that are hiring are being ever more careful about who they employ – considering the effect that new hires can have on the future of a business. Make the wrong decision, and you will be putting yourself, your employees and your business in jeopardy. How can you protect your business? Simple. Hire an employment verification service – this will help you to ensure that all current and new hires are reliable, trustworthy individuals that have no suspect history which can have a potentially detrimental effect on your business.
