HRTech Tips to Use at Your Recruitment Events Each year, the iCIMS crew heads out to the HR Technology Conference to network and meet with thousands of HR professionals from all over the world. Attending a trade show of this size provides several benefits for an organization, from branding exposure to top sales opportunities. On my way back from the conference this year, I noticed the same benefits are true for attending recruitment events. Here are some easy-to-use tips that your team can put into action to help stand out in the crowd. At the HR Technology Conference, everywhere you look people are posting pictures to Instagram, tweeting out facts from interesting sessions, and keeping the event alive on social media.

Will OSHA's New Injury Reporting Rules Discourage Post-Accident Drug Testing? As previously reported in EmployNews, in August the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration issued an advance notice of proposed rulemaking that would eventually result in significant changes to the agency's accident and illness reporting requirements. OSHA justified the changes by noting its perception that employers were substantially underreporting their actual injury rates. Read more. When Did You Last Update Your Background Check Materials? Dollar General just agreed to pay $4 million to settle a class action background check case based on its alleged violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Marcum v.
