Selection Offers Free Webinar

5/11/2012

Join Selection.com for an informational packed webinar dealing with the latest EEOC guidance regarding background checks. Criminal history information can be a crucial tool in making a hiring decision and the EEOC has recently issued new guidance on how to use that information. What does it all mean? How does it affect me?

We’ll also be reviewing an employer’s responsibility under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Do I have to get permission? What do I do if I don’t hire someone? What’s the process?

The webinar will be presented by Charles D. Bailey, Senior VP of Selection.com and will be hosted by Brian Huseman, VP of Marketing / Sales. Chuck has spent 17 years in the background screening industry and will share some of that experience during this hour long presentation.

Please take a moment to register for one of the three sessions and block out the time to attend. Also, please feel free to forward this announcement to others who you think would be interested in attending. This webinar is another way in which Selection.com strives to put our customers first.

Three sessions are available:

Selection.com Disaster Recovery Center

2/17/2012

As featured in the Middletown Journal — Selection.com will bring three jobs to Hook Field, and provide an added benefit to the city’s airport.  Selection Management Systems is planning to lease 4,000 to 5,000 square feet of open space at Hook Field, 1707 Run Way.

Part of that expansion will include bringing in a backup generator that will benefit the airport if a blackout happens.   It will be strong enough to power two hangers. This will be at no cost to the city.

The space that Selection Management Systems will lease will house its disaster recovery center — which is its backup system in case fire or some other disaster hits its Cincinnati office. The center will employ three people.

The lease will provide an additional $9,000 a year in revenue for the city, pending council’s approval of the lease agreement. City Manager Judy Gilleland said city staff is reviewing the contracts and once the contracts are approved work will begin.

Airport Manager Rich Bevis said the airport business has been growing in recent years and is “really thrilled” about the expansion.

“The great thing is they’re going to be renting space from us that’s been running vacant,” he said. “The more (business) we get to Middletown the better the town does.”

Skydive Team Jumps With U.S. Flags In Honor of 9/11

1/31/2012

09/11/2011- MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Members of a local skydiving team honored the victims of 9/11 by jumping over Middletown with giant U.S. flags.

Team Fastrax was supposed to fly over ground zero in New York on Sunday, but that jump was canceled because of heightened security.

Instead, the members of the skydiving team jumped over Middletown's Hook Field at 10:27 a.m., so that they could deploy 10 flags at precisely the moment that the second tower fell.

Among the flags flown Sunday was the largest flag ever flow on a skydive. The flag was 7,800 square feet in size.

Team Fastrax said the jump is to honor the people who lost their lives in the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the servicemen and women who continue "fighting to protect and preserve our freedom."
