ABSTRACT
The core operational knowledge of the pre-employment screening process is provided in the pages of this chapter. The previous chapters are intended to provide the historical, conceptual, and requisite direct and ancillary knowledge required to understand that conducting the background investigation is not simply a matter of searching criminal records and writing a œnal report. This chapter provides much of the operational knowledge required to complete all of the needed steps in the investigation as well as how the investigative report and œnal package requirements should be developed, structured, and submitted. Built into the structure is a recommended chronology of the report and process requirements that will ensure all of the necessary screening areas are appropriately addressed to give the most accurate picture of the individual applicant’s suitability to join the ranks of the organization.
