Pre-Screening to Allow Your Growing Businesses to
Flourish
Fair Lawn , NJ / ACCESSWIRE /
June 11, 2014 / AnythingIT, Inc. (OTCBB: ANYI), AnythingIT today
announced it has finalized a partnership with InterQuest
Information Services, a rapidly growing pre-employment screening
reporting platform. Through its new partnership, WeedHire will
integrate InterQuest Information Services's pre-employment
background checking application into the Weedhire.com job site,
providing customers with an essential solution for all their hiring
needs. InterQuest's self-service, web-based model allows companies
to quickly and easily conduct legally-compliant employment
screening.
"For customers in the legal cannabis industry, doing
employment screening can be extremely important in Colorado,"
stated Vlad Stelmak, COO of AnythingIT. "Further, to work in
Colorado's legal marijuana industry, employees must get
fingerprinted and clear criminal and financial background
checks." With the addition of InterQuest Information
Services' employment screening tools, WeedHire customers are
going to be able to order screening reports that
verify numerous aspects of a candidate's application,
including criminal history, educational background and past
employment.
"InterQuest is excited about our relationship
with WeedHire.com," said InterQuest President Steve
Parsons. "WeedHire has established itself as a leader in this
emerging market, and we're honored to have been selected by
them as their partner. By utilizing InterQuest's convenient
screening tools available from the WeedHire.com website,
clients can get applicants who are qualified while reducing
the potential of liability and litigation that can result from
hiring individuals who have not been properly screened."
Parsons said that InterQuest's client base includes
companies and organizations in the educational, medical and
technology sectors, making their expertise and experience at
perfect fit for employers hiring for the legal marijuana
industry.
"We have plenty of experience with employment screening,"
stated David Bernstein, CEO of AnythingIT. "For the last two
decades, many of the projects we worked on with the government
and other large institutions required our employees to
be screened because of the highly sensitive data we come
across on a daily basis. We understand its importance and know
that by adding InterQuest Information Services to the WeedHire
job site, our customers will be able to make better-informed
and confident hiring decisions that are not cost-prohibitive."
Although Weedhire.com will be the central online portal and
social media source for job seekers and providers, it will not
be involved with the growth, sale, or distribution
of marijuana. It will however generate revenues via paid
employment recruitment packages and advertising.
