It will help me in future searches to learn why you chose them over the others. (They came to us through Distinctive Staffing in Palm Beach.) I hope you didn't feel pressured to make a decision due to all the issues! I'll talk to Jimmy/Lina and have the information you requested before we meet however I won't have access to the forms to FedEx until the office opens Tuesday. I absolutely agree about lying and don't think any form is acceptable. I would certainly expect any applicant/employee to tell us the truth rather than needing to threaten them with the background check. I've always used the background to substantiate rather than leverage and don't understand how you separate the people who will only tell you the truth when they think you can or will check??? I'm really interested in knowing your reasoning on this. Jimmy and Lina seem like a good match for us. But my concern is the lack of management and cooking capabilities and we'll need to work around that area. I hope you saw my interview notes and you're not expecting too much from them. The other area of concern is our staff; John and Mary definitely have their "sympathy vote" and I think we need to handle this with Kidd gloves so we don't erode their confidence in us. The last thing we want is for them to lose trust and begin to look else where. There are too many jobs out there for the staff you've taken years to train... I'll think about the transition and have an outline of ideas to discuss with you... Although you certainly don't need me to be in agreement to administer your decisions; I'm in total agreement with you on this and will do everything possible to make it as smooth as possible and least stressful for you and Mr. E.
