This will be much more than a simple โ€œhow-toโ€ background investigation course; this course will answer the question as to โ€œwhyโ€ you conduct legally sufficient background investigations, and what happens if you donโ€™t. We will discuss some of the โ€œhow-toโ€™sโ€, but we will explore these topics in the context of the legal ramifications of background investigation failures. Together we will examine the current best practices in background investigations in order to mitigate, to the extent possible, some of the risks associated with hiring. We will explore legally sufficient background investigations in the context of failure to investigate, failure to vet and failure to thoroughly and completely screen our candidates within the parameters of the law.

During this course we will consider:

  • Legal liability issues associated with background investigation failures for entry-level and lateral hires;
  • Organizational impacts of background investigation failures and โ€œred flagsโ€ to find during your investigations;
  • The importance of cybervetting;
  • Impacted Federal Statutes and related court decisions;
  • Applicable accreditation standards and compliance requirements;
  • Practical strategies for background investigations;
  • andย Reporting and record-keeping requirements.
Overall, this course will provide the attendee with not only the knowledge of why we conduct background investigations, but how to properly investigate and document your legally sufficient candidate background investigations.

Instructors:

  • Attorney Joseph Race
  • Attorney Eric Daigle
  • Attorney Eric Atstupenas
The Daigle Law Group will provide instruction unlike any other background investigation course available drawing on the knowledge of multiple background investigation experts for the attendee’s immediate application in their background investigations.
