Date: October 22nd at 2 pm ET
Presenters: Angelique Dale, Education Account Manager, Praesidium, Inc.
Description: Too often, schools rely solely on criminal background checks to help screen out potential offenders.

Ms. Dale will provide screening tips, including how to effectively structure your screening process, critically review information provided on written applications, ask behavioral-based interview questions to solicit valuable responses, conduct productive reference checks, and analyze all collected information before making a hiring decision.
