Hiring the right people is a huge problem for employers. And solving another company's problem is a sound basis for many businesses. It is hard enough for companies to find people who can do the job, but sometimes they have criminal records, drug problems, or other things that would make them risky for a company to hire.

Companies also have a great deal of difficulty finding their way around the rules of interviewing — there are many things they are just not allowed to ask. Ask the wrong question in an interview and the candidate, if they do not get the job, can easily claim discrimination.

Your advice is invaluable and Clients willingly pay screening fees to protect themselves from such legal hassles.
