How should a global firm design its recruitment and selection policy?

While the Criminal Records Bureau’s help has been traditionally sought after for performing these background checks, the governmental agency is gaining a reputation of late, of being inadequate to deal with the increased demand for background checks on staff (Willmott, 2002).  And finally, inadequate attention to the “soft” or “delicate” issues is an area that requires special attention. Most firms tend to focus on the issues that directly affect the bottom line, like taxes, cost-of-living allowances, premiums and the like, and overlook the “soft” issues.
