The Risk You Can't See on a Resume: How Cyber Investigations Protect Your Greatest Asset - People

Date: Tuesday, May 12
Time: 2 pm ET/1pm CT/11am PT

Overview: Your candidates look great on paper. They ace the interview. Their background check comes back clean. And then six months later, you're staring at a legal claim, a PR crisis, or a termination package that nobody budgeted for. Sound familiar? In this session, CIChecked President Michelle Pyan and Marketing Coordinator Alex Skaine walk media finance professionals through the growing gap between what traditional screening catches and what it doesn't - and why that gap lands squarely on your balance sheet. Using a real-world case study and data on the true cost of incomplete screening, this session gives financial leaders the intelligence they need to evaluate whether their hiring process is actually protecting the brand it's paying to build.

Presenters: Michelle Pyan, President, CIChecked; Alex Skaine, Marketing Coordinator, CIChecked;  and Kelly Schnupp, Manager of Strategic Alliances, CIChecked
