What Computerized Background Checks Miss
Online, September 4, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Computer screening is becoming a common method for companies to filter out most Unqualified people. Unfortunately, Applicants that dont know how to answer a Computer question are often disqualified despite their excellent credentials. This is because computer questions tend to be very specific. They may ask for experience in a specialized accounting program for example. However an applicant, who has been trained in the program but doesnt use it, has a choice of saying No and getting rejected, or saying yes and coming out a liar in the interview process. The key difference is that you can get more than one good answer to your question. For example, the computer would reject a Marketing Manager from a Sales Manager position. Does it really matter to you that an applicant carried the title of Marketing Manager with heavy sales management skills? The best fit may be hiding under the wrong title.
As an Employer, you need to find the best applicant available and that should have nothing to do with key words on a resume. At Executive Credit Management we do not recommend the use of these programs. We think better results are achieved by a short verbal interview over the phone.Here are is a great article on the subject:http://www.theledger.com/article/20120918/NEWS/120919212
