Corra Group Offers Volume Discounts for Motor Vehicle Driving Records for Trucking Companies in the Energy Industry

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. (PRWEB) JUNE 13, 2018

Corra Group is now offering volume discounts to trucking companies who are part of the energy industry. As reported in a recent Wall Street Journal article, entitled “Hot Commodity in the Shale Boom: Truckers,” qualified drivers are commanded six figure salaries.

“Our clients in the trucking industry are ordering large volumes of Motor Vehicle Driving Records in their search for qualified drivers,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Nick Gustavson. It’s really crazy. The shale and energy industry is booming and drivers are just so hard to find. Our clients are searching everywhere for licensed drivers. Including sometimes at the bottom of the barrel.

“Because of the need for trucking and transportation companies to sort out so many drivers as part of the current hiring process,” Corra Group is offering significant discounts to drivers ordering MVRS at high volume,” said Gustavson. “It lightens the cost a bit and reduces some of the hiring pain.”

Gustavson pointed out that Corra Group is a full service employment screening company with a package of background checks, especially for truckers. and can conduct a wide range of background checks, from MVRS to PSP reports, DOT Compliant employment verifications, and DOT compliant drug tests for companies with at least fifty drivers or more.

“Corra Group is partnered with researchers around the world, enabling us to bring due diligence related background searches to both investigative agencies and business entities,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis.

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. (PRWEB) MAY 22, 2018

Corra Group is now offering a full suite of due diligence background checks directly to businesses. The El Segundo, California based company is now a direct source for corporate entities in need of special services, before engaging in partnerships, vendor arrangements, or especially mergers and acquisitions.

The comprehensive range of background checks will include criminal and civil records searches, reputational reports, social media reports, advanced social media research, analytical open source intelligence reports pertaining to cyber espionage and cyber-crime, as well as other malicious threats to a corporate entity. These background checks can be conducted domestically or globally.

“Corra Group is partnered with researchers around the world, enabling us to bring due diligence related searches to both investigative agencies and business entities,” said Corra Group Co-Founder, Gordon Basichis. “In recent months we have had more businesses coming directly to us in need of background checks for partnerships, vendor relations, competitive intelligence, and mergers and acquisitions. “It is only natural then that we develop an outreach program so that businesses can deal with Corra Group directly.

“Some businesses are coming off of experiences with other background and investigative services, and some have never engaged in due diligence practices,” said Basichis. “Corra Group find it prudent to offer free consultation to best determine the specific needs of an individual company, before recommending the services it can offer. This way we learn the objectives and priorities of the businesses seeking our services.”

Basichis noted Corra Group can conduct deep net and dark net cyber investigations in order to investigate product and brand infringement as well as any threats to principals of the company. He pointed out that there are also cost effective comprehensive social media reports that can be ordered both for due diligence and employment purposes.

Updates on the Washington State Fair Chance Act

For those who conduct employment screening in Washington State, here is an update by Montserat C. Miller, Partner at Arnall Golden Gregory LLP in Washington, D.C.

Please see below–

“Washington State is the latest state to enact a Fair Chance Hiring law with a ban the box provision (meaning employers cannot ask about criminal history on the job application). The Fair Chance Act prohibits employers in Washington State from asking about criminal history on any application for employment until after the employer initially determines that the applicant is “otherwise qualified for the position.” The Governor signed HB 1298 into law, effective June 7, 2018. The law also addresses job advertisements and company policies and procedures.”

Drugs and Guns–Worker Shortages Cause Employers to Relax Drug Tests

For those who conduct drug testing for employment screening, this is something to take note of.  From Vinson&Elkins

Worker shortages, relaxed views on drug use in the context of an opioid abuse epidemic, and issues related to gun violence are creating new challenges in workplaces in the United States. Record-low unemployment and increasingly limited immigration options are making qualified candidates more difficult to find. The movement to legalize marijuana has taken hold in America; despite marijuana’s use remaining a federal crime, there are nine states and Washington D.C. that have legalized its use. And concerns over both workplace gun violence and individual gun rights have intensified. These cultural and economic factors present challenges to employers seeking to respect individual rights while maintaining safe and lawful workplaces.

For example, these forces have led many employers to scale back drug testing applicants (or at least testing for the use of marijuana). Exceptions remain; industries whose businesses involve operating heavy machinery and companies that contract with the federal government continue to drug test for safety purposes and to comply with federal government contract terms. But for employers who have forgone (or are considering forgoing) employee drug testing, it would be wise to investigate possible liabilities arising from employee errors arising out of drug use or if it is later shown the employee had used drugs. Recruiting and retaining talented employees in a competitive workforce environment is crucial to a company’s success, but employers should think carefully before scaling back procedures designed to minimize potential liabilities.
