Common concerns of employers regarding pre employment verification process.
Why do pre employment verification?
Pre-employment verification is an effective risk management tool that has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of bad hiring decisions. Simply having a pre employment verification process discourages people with criminal backgrounds or falsified credentials from applying. It eliminates guesswork from the hiring process and also demonstrates due diligence.
Why should a firm outsource this service?
Background verification is a time consuming and detailed task that requires highly specialized knowledge and resources. It is also subject to numerous legal regulations. Outsourcing this service to a specialist saves time and resources and allows companies to focus on their core competencies.
Does it invade privacy?
No. Checking court records for criminal convictions or calling past employers or educational institutions does not invade one’s personal privacy. Background verification only looks at public information that is a valid and fair predictor of future job performance.
Is it cost-effective?
The cost of pre employment verification represents a fraction of the cost a company might have to incur due to a bad hiring decision. Costs incurred in terminating an individual; re-hiring, re-training a replacement; or defending a lawsuit brought by a victim of a violent individual’s actions can be enormous. There are other costs that are hard to measure, such as the harm to employee morale or the firm's reputation. Hence investing in a pre employment verification process will prove to be cost-effective.
Does it discourage good applicants?
Employees always want to work in a safe and profitable environment. A good candidate understands that background verification is a sound business practice that helps a firm's bottom line and is not an invasion of privacy.
Does it delay hiring?
No. Background verification usually takes a week or so. Most of the information needed is not stored in databases but can be obtained by calling up past employers or educational institutions. |
