A brief background and purpose
AMI Corporate HR, in Reston, Virginia, the United States of America, currently oversees all HR-related functions and activities for clinics. As a way of diversifying, AMI Corporate HR has decided to inaugurate and outsource background and credential check processes for its local staff in Sierra Leone, including future candidates.
