Hi, I recently came across Scaler's MS program, which offers masters degree in collaboration with Woolf University (European University). And, I am looking move to Canada in near future. Will the master degree offered through this course will be accepted by the education evaluation institute WES? If yes, is it considered as equivalent to Canadian Masters degree?

Is this a full background check? You have to have consent. Not only that but it costs your company $$ every time you do this.
If it is other methods for searching public records or if he's looking for re-hire eligibility check for your company, I can see that. He should however follow the process of interviewing, selecting the candidate, the offer and run the background at that time. I agree with everyone, he may just want to stick with letting you perform the job he hired you to do.
Thank you. Yes, it bothers me about the money too. In our state, running a background check is a job offer...so technically he should probably hire both of them even though he has only 1 opening. He's not my boss and one of my DMs for the company.
Your DM is definitely bugging
So you’re just doing the initial screening? Then it gets passed off to the store manager to move forward? I mean it seems pretty typical.
There's not much to prescreen for cashiers. I do prescreens for other positions where I have several questions, but calling cashiers and talking for a minute or so with them, then having them wait at least a few days to have the store manager call to schedule an interview with them will not be very effective.
I aways have the managers at least review the resume prior to my doing a phone screen. I understand that some do it this way and some talk to candidate before forwarding the information to the manager. The reason I do this is simply for time savings. It takes time to track down a candidate, schedule a time to talk, write up the notes, and present them to the manager. It takes roughly 2 minutes to review the resume and have the manager simply give a go/no-go note. I have not done every job I recruit for, but the managers typically have and so I value their opinion prior to my investing significant time in a candidate. I have recruited for many years and tried it both ways, and I have come to conclusion that it is both the most effective and the best use of recruiter time.
Thank you for your response. Well, this is my first recruiting job, and it has mostly been to hire cashiers for our stores, so there's not a lot of prescreening that needs to be done. I do prescreens for other roles, such as store managers, asst. store managers, other DMs, internal auditors, etc. so it makes more sense to do it his way - pass on the notes and they can schedule the interview if they want to interview them. With cashiers, they will most likely have gotten another job by the time the managers contact them for an interview because it takes them a long time to do anything since they are given so much to do in a work day.
