[QUOTE="deleted user 436632456, post: 7428505, member: 151698"] One of my clients was recently recruiting tractor drivers, I was helping with interviews and references. There was this one guy who stood out above the rest, great qualifications, CV and references, so they gave him a one week trial He was relocating area with his wife and 2 kids, so was doing the one week trial and then was due to move in a couple of weeks and start full time if successful. During the one week trial another member of staff was taking a few snapchats etc and out of the blue got this random message from someone from the other side of the country asking "What is ## doing working for you?" "Do you know who he is?" Turns out... he has quite a long conviction sheet of stalking, harassment and is also a registered sex offender. And the wife and 2 kids don't exist. What actually scares me is that this guy had the potential to be out with the silage gang and farmers like they do over here is throw their children in the cabs with the silage gang. So from now on.. I will be insisting that background checks for all potential new employees are carried out, No If's, No Buts, No more thinking that everybody in Agri is part of the good old boys club. [/QUOTE]
