Ensuring the integrity, the loyalty, and the right guy is standing next to your client has never been more important than in today’s protection business. Employers need to be aware of the bad apples and screening for them is getting pretty high tech these days. The cost of having one bad apple can be tremendous. In this episode we will be talking about how one firm is doing that.
They are looking for integrity flaws, propensity for untruthfulness, and criminal backgrounds to mention a few things they review. The labor statistics on how much more it costs to hire a bad employee (poor performance, theft, drug abuse, extra HR issues with the employee, missed work, lack of productivity, affects on moral, sleeping on the job, sexual harassment, loss of a client or clients) is astounding vs. spending the money to conduct a thorough background check and do some pre-employment screening. The cost pays off quickly with a happy client, minimized internal security risks and lower turnover.

Good to hear Mr. Moyer’s take on agents who list clients on their resumes and/or run their mouths in spite of NDAs because I sometimes feel like I operate in a bizarro EP world in LA.

This interview was otherwise a welcome trip inside the head of people in hiring positions.
