Today is the “information age” and this may be the reason for the increase in employment screening – the availability of computer databases containing millions of records of personal data.  As the cost of searching these sources drops, employers are finding it more feasible to conduct background checks.

Do your own background check. If you want to see what an employer’s background check might uncover, hire a company that will conduct one for you. That way you can correct any errors you find. Here is the address www.mybackgroundcheck.com and www.choicepoint.com.  It is free!
Recruiters don’t want to admit that they knew you were the second choice all along or that the employer was just interviewing you to go through the motions. Maybe the top candidate was even someone else he sent in. Third party recruiters are paid commission.  They only make money when the candidate is hired.  For that reason they want to cover themselves by having more than one candidate in the game.  No, it is not unprofessional…it is the smart thing to do.  I owned a retained search firm and let me close with one statement.  Every candidate I ever placed got my immediate attention when they were in the job market or wanted to make a move.
When it comes to salary negotiation your leverage is based upon one thing and one thing only.  How important it is that you come to work for either that person or company.  Always remember one thing when you are interviewing.  The more time the company invests in you, the more they have at stake and the more face time you have with the different level of interviewers, the more value you add to you which translate into dollars.
In recent hiring trends many resumes are never being seen by human eyes. An electronic computer scans it, looking at keywords, and eliminating all others. Employers confess to getting so many resumes that the speed of applying is a hiring factor. Employers told me they look through the resume stack until they find four or five good ones, call those candidates in for an interview, and may leave hundreds of resumes unread.
