Revamp Your Background Check Process To Help Fight Labor Shortages

Written by Orange Tree Employment Screening | Apr 22, 2022 2:30:00 AM

The current state of the labor market has businesses scrambling to fill open positions. One potential solution to these challenges is to revamp your background check process. By doing so, you may find better-qualified candidates who are a good fit for your company culture. Here are some benefits employers can gain by revamping their background check program.

Decreased time to start

The background check process can be time-consuming, resulting in a candidate being hired by a competitor while you are still waiting for the results.

The most straightforward approach to speed up the background check procedure is to ensure your provider has all of the information required for the check and that it's finished and correct. Use a background check firm with front-end technology that allows you to quickly start orders and provide information for your hopefuls.

Orange Tree's easy-to-use online interface offers multiple ordering options. It integrates seamlessly into Applicant Tracking Systems to create the most efficient and streamlined screening experience possible for you and your candidates.

Better candidate experience

Since your candidates are evaluating you as much as you are them, it's in your best interest to provide them with a positive experience. Making background checks part of your company's brand will give candidates a better impression of your hiring process.

An excellent background check experience starts with communication. When a background check is required, let your candidates know as soon as possible in the hiring process. This way, they can be prepared and have any questions answered upfront.

It's also important to let them know what to expect during the background check process and how long it will take. Providing this information upfront will help manage their expectations and ensure there are no surprises later on.
