This reduction of load would only be effective if the FD-step would eliminate over 50% of candidates. Since it takes twice as much manpower to double-check, only if the first check will reject more than half this construction would save time. I hardly doubt it does. And apart from that, I don't see why the pre-screening couldn't be made into a full screening, since as Marc Brockschmidt indicated, one FD check can take about two hours. If you spend that much time you can be pretty certain you did a thorough check on the person, and the DAM shouldn't have to repeat that. Thijs
