In her staffing experience prior to opening Before You Hire Inc. in 2001, Jerelyn Dishmond said that completing proper screening when hiring temporary positions was always important in reducing turnover. Then, when an employee was hired full time, HR had to go to one place for a drug test, another for a background report, another for a physical, sometimes had to wait two to three days, plus deal with multiple invoices!
