We are helping companies handle job candidates not selected for hire. We aim to assist in maintaining brand reputation, mitigating the risk of discrimination lawsuits, and fostering a respectful recruitment process.
We share an in-depth look at potential reasons for passing on a job candidate. These include tardiness, a lack of enthusiasm for the position, incongruity with company culture, slow response times, background screening issues, and unreasonable salary or benefit demands.
Moreover, we emphasize the importance of treating all candidates with respect and professionalism, regardless of the hiring decision. CredentialCheck offers three key strategies for managing applicants not selected for hire: transparent communication, reference to the original job description, and adherence to adverse action procedures.
Transparent communication is crucial to provide closure for candidates to allow them to move on. If candidates inquire about the decision, we suggest providing constructive feedback, focusing on the skills they lacked compared to skills needed in the job description.
In cases where a background check impacts the hiring decision, we explain the requirements of state and federal laws when using a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) for background checks. We also detail the steps for sending pre-adverse and adverse action letters, which notify the candidate that information in their background report affected their employment prospects.
We serve as a valuable resource for businesses committed to maintaining a respectful and professional hiring process. By providing clear and comprehensive guidance, we continue their commitment to helping businesses make informed hiring decisions.
We are a is a trusted provider of comprehensive employment screening services. With a focus on helping businesses make safe and informed hiring decisions, we leverage nearly two decades of industry experience to deliver reliable results.
