When recruiting, it never ceases to amaze me how job applicants will lie right to my face. Here’s a recent example… After we make a conditional offer of employment, we have applicants take a pre-employment drug screen and we conduct a pre-employment criminal background check and a pre-employment motor vehicle record (MVR) check – with […]
