Salesman Held In Sex Case
Source: Dallas Morning News
August 17,2000

Little else is known about Mr. Dooley, who has no criminal record in Texas. Detectives said he had never been arrested before.

"He has worked with us for approximately two months, and as far as we know he's been a good employee," said his employer, Jerry Freeman, general manager of the Freeman car dealerships.

"He seemed like a religious person and never manifested anything at work that showed he could have been capable of that... But if he is guilty of those things, he has done some terrible things."

Commentary from The Doctor

While we may never completely rid ourselves of all illnesses, we can take preventative measures to avoid exposing ourselves to unnecessary risk. The same is true of who we invite into our workplace.

A business that unwittingly allows a disruptive element into the workforce can unleash much more than a localized infection. The hard-earned reputation of fellow workers and their standards can be tarnished, morale and motivation may falter, focus is lost and surrounding communities, on which a business may rely, are negatively impacted. Business can fall off and the time taken to recover only adds to a financial and human cost that could well have been avoided by spending as few as 12 minutes and as little as $40 to administer a behavioral questionnaire.

Remember, resumes can be forged, background checks can be incomplete and improperly corroborated, and first impressions are often the ultimate deception.

Know who you are hiring before a costly mistake is made. Have your candidates answer professionally developed, non-discriminatory questions and then view an unbiased and equally ethical evaluation of their behavioral tendencies.

You'll save yourself, your workforce and your community considerable loss.
