Even for jobseekers who tell the truth, waiting to pass the background check can be an anxiety-ridden experience. The prospect of going through the process just once, then, undoubtedly sets many minds at ease, which is one reason the news is welcome that identity theft protection company CSIdentity has made this a reality. Another reason? Scores of hiring organizations now have the option to drop this time-consuming task from their own to-do lists.
Through its recently announced background screening partnership with TelecomCareers.net and ITJobs.net, CSIdentity has created a passport of sorts around the concept of the background check. Technology and communications-focused jobseekers on TelecomCareers, a telecom, media and technology-focused career site, as well as their counterparts on the niche job board ITjobs, can now become "CSIdentity SAFE Certified."
"CSI SAFE Certified" jobseekers run their personal information just once through CSIdentity's screening process, which allows them, in turn, to present themselves to prospective employers as "pre-screened." A "CSIdentity SAFE Certified" jobseeker is one whose identity has been verified and authenticated; a "CSIdentity SAFE Certified" jobseeker is one who has already passed a rigorous background check.
