Once you have established a corporation, in most cases you will need to add some members. The exception is a one-person corporation which may be used, for example, to avoid high tax rates which are charged in NPC corporations.

With this in mind, you have to be careful about who you invite to join your corporation, particularly if the corporation has (or will have) assets worth stealing. It would be a sensible precaution to do some kind of background checks on your potential members, both to see if they are up to something shady and to also just see if they will fit in to your corporation and its objectives. For example, a pirate is unlikely to be a good fit with a mining corporation.

The level of background checks you require is up to you. You may be satisfied with a simple check of their corporation history, killboard and forum posts. On the other hand you may want them to provide you with an API to view information about their accounts (e.g. wallet logs, mails). Some corporations also have an actual interview process, either in chat or in mumble, and some also implement a 'vouching' system, by which an existing members has to vouch for you.

It is up to you how you wish the recruitment process to be set up and administered. You can delegate recruitment to another person by giving them the Personnel Manager role, which allows them to view applications and send invitations to the corporation. However you should be very careful who you trust with this role, as they could potentially invite enemies of the corporation to join. Some corporations take a group approach to recruitment, and put new potential members to a vote, whereas some leave the decision to the CEO, or other members who have been delegated as recruitment contacts.
