Monday, April 6, 2009 - A Cover Sheet For Your Job Application: A GREAT Idea!

Instead of handing someone a simple job application that is generic in nature, we suggest that clients add a Cover Sheet on top. That is, you let the applicant know that you appreciate his/her desire to work for you, but in order to keep the workforce, your customers, and the community safe, you conduct background checks. This serves as a 'warning' to the applicants that, if considered for employment, they will be checked out. Once an applicant reads this, he/she might just get up and leave for fear of having negative details revealed, such as a damaging criminal record. After all, think of all the time your business has wasted in the past just accepting job applications from people who shouldn't have walked in your door to being with. LABORCHEX can offer you a free sample cover sheet that you can customize any way you like. Just contact Steven J. Austin at the email address below.
