Trust but Verify: Background and Reference Verification in Japan

---

Note: Due to strong members' requests, this Event is not open to external or 3rd party recruiters/headhunters EXCEPT for JHRS Premium Staffing Professionals only.


The interview is over. The candidate has left the building. Now comes the hard part---making sense of what you've just heard. The question is, "do you have a systematic process to ensure the candidates have been truthful?"

Or, do you even need one? "We're in Japan...people here are generally honest and truthful!" is a typical response for most of the hiring managers or employers in Japan when asked if they do background and/or reference checking for their potential hires before they extend an offer.

However, times have changed. And recent statistics can prove it.

If you are interested in learning how to go beyond the interview, then JOIN US in an evening of food and drinks, networking, and learning and sharing as our guest speaker, Mr.Tim Bennett, General Manager Japan & Korea, First Advantage--a global background investigation company--as he shares with us some startling and disturbing statistics of background checking in Japan, the risks associated with it, and what can you do to ensure that you are hiring the person for who s/he claims s/he really are.
