If you screen and hire employees for your own business or your employer, ADP employee services can keep you from making some big mistakes. The practice of running background checks on potential hires has grown, and with good reason: one study found that a full 50% of background checks turned up discrepancies between applicant-provided information and information the check provided. But most HR managers are already swamped and simply don't have the time run a check on every potential hire. HR managers face an additional burden as compliance with state and federal regulations becomes more complex. This is where outsourced employment services and personnel solutions can come to the rescue.

ADP personnel solutions use technology to increase the efficiency and accuracy of critical HR tasks like screening and compliance. There are even ADP employee personnel solutions to help you identify the best candidates to hire. Below you'll find more about how to:

1. Screen potential employees.
