Conducting an employee screening upholds a company’s high-standards when it comes to providing a background check before hiring a new employee. This has been a universal routine for many companies all over the world, wherein a company’s Human Resource team ensures that the pre-employed person’s background such as their work history, criminal records, educational background and other information are properly investigated on in order to avoid any counterproductive behaviors in the workplace that could be a threat to the company and its other employees.
What are the Top 3 trends in conducting background checks.
1) Artificial Intelligence and Automation
AI machines are of great use in today’s time. Technology has been an extremely helpful tool in many aspects, especially with automated background checks that have reduced the time needed in background screening compared to the traditional background checks.
2) Commercial Database Use
Background screening has a lot to do with database use since the employers need to be aware about the millions of records coming from various sources such as courts, criminal records, agencies and other platforms that collect records. Employers should take into account the legal requirements needed in background screening to avoid having false data records and other complications that will affect the hiring process.
3) Criterion Validity Check
Having a criterion validity check would ensure the relationship between the background information and behavior of the pre-employed individual. A background check is a better predictor of what the employee’s behavior and performance will be like in their workplace.
In doing a background check, a company will be able to hire the right person in the right seat. When you hire the wrong person, there will be a cost to revenue since employee training will be involved and in the case where the employee leaves, return on investment is wasted.
