		<description><![CDATA[Gift card fraud is on the rise, but it doesn't have to happen.  A pre-employment profile can help you weed out dishonest candidates before they have a chance to steal from you.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gift cards are not just for giving.   An article in  the <a title="blocked::http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/30/business/30theft.html" href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/30/business/30theft.html">New York Times</a> this week suggests that the ubiquitous cards are becoming a  favorite way for dishonest employees to steal from their employers.   The story  notes that the plastic wallet stuffers are especially difficult to trace.  ID is  not generally required when the cards are redeemed and they can be easily sold  on internet auction sites, usually for close to face  value.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s yet another case of new technology being used by  the unscrupulous to steal from their bosses.  Many employers probably feel that  they are fighting a losing battle as each new anti-theft system is met with ever  increasing ingenuity by sticky fingered employees.  This battle is not  inevitable.  The way to stop the ever escalating cycle is to not let it start.   How?  Businesses must identify job applicants with improper attitudes regarding  theft. If these applicants are not hired, they won&#8217;t have the opportunity to  construct new systems for the stealthy removal of  merchandise.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, most hiring processes aren&#8217;t able to  identify any but the most obvious thieves among us.  However, there are tools  available.  The Step One Survey II is a hiring profile that identifies a job  applicant&#8217;s attitude towards theft, as well as other values that are important  to employers.  These surveys are affordable and indispensable to any company  with employees handling merchandise or money, or who work unsupervised around  valuables.  These tools not only score the applicants, but also provide  interview questions to help explore any red flags they raise.  Think of the Step  One Survey II as a gift for the hiring  process.</p>
