Lawson Software Adds Background Check to job Solution.
Business Editors & High Tech Writers
New James E. Van Ella Partnership Extends
Internet-Based e-Recruiting Service
Lawson Software, the Enterprise behind the Internet, today announced
a technology partnership with James E. Van Ella and Associates (JEV), a
premier provider of pre-employment background investigations, to
integrate its real-time background checking technology with Lawson's
ijob electronic recruitment service. The integration to the JEV
technology will be generally available to ijob customers on July 31,
2000.
Through the partnership, JEV will provide Lawson's ijob customers
with its Background Now service, which includes background checking of
applicants' social security, employment and credit histories, as well as
a national fugitive search. Also available to ijob customers through
Background Now is a 20-state criminal database search, as well as a
healthcare-specific pre-employment background screening which includes a
verification check of professional licensing status. JEV's Background
Now technology allows recruiters to determine if candidates meet their
employment requirements early in the recruitment process, saving time by
allowing recruiters to focus only on acceptable candidates.
"The results of this union will broaden our mutual and
respective market shares in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and
transportation industries," said Elizabeth Van Ella, chairwoman and
chief executive officer, James E. Van Ella and Associates.
All transactions conducted via the ijob integration with JEV are
fully secured via state-of-the-art encryption technology. Because the
Background Now background check is performed in real time, recruiters
will usually receive the results of the information search in just five
minutes. Background check results are delivered via email as an Internet
link containing the results. JEV will then archive the search results
for future verification by the customer.
"JEV's Background Now technology adds considerable value to the
ijob service by helping to further streamline and automate the candidate
selection process," said Larry Dunivan, general manager, ijob
Business Unit, Lawson Software. "Hiring a new employee carries with
it some degree of risk that can be effectively managed through
pre-employment screening. By teaming with JEV for its Background Now
service, recruiters using ijob can find out in just a few minutes if a
candidate passes a preliminary background check."
JEV, where speed and quality converge in delivery, is a brand name in
Background Investigation solutions. It is a 31-year-old firm with
thousands of mid- to large-sized corporate customers. JEV sets the
standards in integrity of information to make informed hiring decisions.
