Los Angeles Human Resources Consulting Firm to Offer Employment Screening, Drug Testing by HRPlus

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) - February 25, 2008 - Curtin & Associates, a Human Resource consulting firm based in Mid-City Los Angeles, has announced its recent affiliation with HRPLUS, based in Evergreen, Colorado, as its Los Angeles area marketing representative offering background screening and drug testing services for their client base.

In affiliating with HRPLUS, Dan Curtin, the firm's Principal, said, "We transition our long-standing relationship from that of a loyal client to being an active 'marketer' for HRPLUS on the west coast." Curtin has used the services of HRPLUS extensively over the past decade to assist in the screening process of his clients for executive searches, and to screen candidates for his own business. "I have a great satisfaction and belief in the integrity and value of their services," says Curtin. "There are many 'short cut' vendors in the background screening industry, and they may compromise the quality of information they obtain for their clients by accessing outdated databases. Though this practice may keep their costs down, it puts their clients at risk, as it is the client who is liable under most state and federal laws when background checks are completed improperly."

Mr. Curtin likes the fact that HRPLUS certifies and utilizes its own network of investigators to maintain the quality of its services and that the management of the company places a priority on staying current on all federal and state laws to protect their clients. HRPLUS offers value-added service that is unique in the industry:

? 88% Higher Criminal Hit Rates

? Guaranteed Reference Program

? Network of 13,000 Collection Sites for Drug Testing

? Summary of Reports for Maximum Clarity

? Quality Assurance Team Review 100% of Reports

? Turnaround Guarantee for All Clients

For more information and pricing, please contact Dan Curtin, Curtin & Associates at 323-937-2612. http://curtinassociates.com
