Partner Program Spotlight
PRISM has partnered with Plexus Global to provide background check services. Employers have a duty to ensure prospective employees will not pose a risk to the public, other agency employees, or the agency. Comprehensive background checks are a necessary and important pre-employment best practice that will help members meet this obligation.
