#hrtechconf CEO Michel Fitzsimmons

We had the opportunity to interview Crosschq CEO Michael Fitzsimmons on the floor at #HRTechconf Most Recruiters have a story or two about candidate fraud. We were very curious to understand how CrossChq.com works in the hiring process.  Mike shares his personal experience leading to the creation and launch of the solution. If 47% of new hires don't stay long enough to become ROI positive, a part of the decision to hire needs a closer look. What do we really know about someone before they are hired? Is just the standard information like skills, experience, education; where we are blind, is around behavior that will spill into the workplace.   In high risk hiring such as health care or financial services, skipping past the background check can have serious consequences.  Some advice for those who are considering adding technology to their hiring process, be clear about what problem you are trying to solve before you go shopping.
