Step 3. Background Checks & Skills Assessments
As we continue our journey in the Pre-hire to retire step by step review, the next stop is, "The investigation of background checking and skills assessments."
In our last issue, we discussed how important it is to control the cost of providing qualified employees.
We reviewed the tools necessary to allow the HR professional to fill that urgent need from the ever increasing applicant pool.
Now that we have found the standout applicant; the applicant that meets and or exceeds the requirements of the desired position, lets be sure!
Background screening has become a number one priority. It is very important to know as much as possible about the people you hire. EVERY employee has the potential to damage your company's reputation, gouge your company's margins and even expose your company to liabilities. By taking this simple step before you hire, you can avoid costly, far reaching problems down the road.
Far beyond your standard "due diligence" considerations, background checks are one of the most effective applicant screening tools readily available.
At HRTS, we can provide recommendation for background screening services. Our applicant tracking solutions can be customized to include the background check in the workflow. By automating the process, and allowing technology to be your guide, you can protect your company and yourself.
We continue to evaluate integrated systems and applications to keep our partners on the leading edge of technology that improves efficiencies, saves time, and saves money, for the most important priority - you our valued partners!
