TrendSource continues to answer questions employers commonly ask about I-9 Verifications and employment eligibility.

E-Verify is a US government-sponsored online program that compares the identification documents New Hires provide against those already on file with Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA).

Earlier this year, TrendSource started offering E-Verify as an optional addition to any standard I-9 Verification. We understand that certain employers are required to use E-Verify when completing an I-9 for their employees and that other employers decide to use E-Verify for the extra layers of certainty it adds to their compliance efforts.

At TrendSource, we are the compliance experts, which means that we field a lot of questions about compliance best practices. Whether it is compliance for consumer reporting, compliance for finance, or compliance for employers, we are kinda like the go-to know-it-alls for compliance.

Hiring through LinkedIn has become so common we don’t even think about anymore—in fact, many of you reading this blog probably got your current job through LinkedIn. It’s the digital version of analog networking, where the people you met at a tradeshow become your “connections” and your network grows across your company, industry, and vertical. Hiring managers have tapped into LinkedIn for over a decade, actively recruiting through the platform. Again, none of this should be news.
