According to Forbes, remote opportunities leaped from under 4% before the pandemic to about 9% at the end of 2020 and to more than 15% today. As the workforce becomes increasingly virtual, the need to adapt background checks to accommodate remote hiring practices has never been more critical. CredentialCheck is committed to assisting businesses in overcoming the challenges associated with remote hiring through tailored solutions that prioritize comprehensive employment background screening.
The surge in remote work, accelerated by global events in recent years, has transformed traditional recruitment practices, prompting a shift in the approach to employment background screening. CredentialCheck recognizes that the rise of remote work necessitates a more thorough and globally oriented screening process to ensure that companies maintain workplace safety, protect their reputation, and comply with legal requirements. In light of these shifts, CredentialCheck is dedicated to preparing organizations to address the specific challenges associated with remote hiring through updated and enhanced screening procedures.
One of the key challenges posed by remote hiring is the verification of information across multiple jurisdictions. In response to this, CredentialCheck offers a comprehensive range of services that include traced county and state criminal checks, as well as international screenings, to ensure that employers have a holistic view of a candidate’s background. Moreover, as the digital footprint of candidates becomes increasingly relevant in a remote work environment, CredentialCheck emphasizes checks related to online behavior and social media presence to provide a more complete picture of a candidate's suitability.
The shift to remote work has also highlighted the importance of continuous monitoring in employment background screening. CredentialCheck recognizes the need for businesses to stay informed about employees' suitability beyond the initial pre-employment check, particularly in a remote setting. Continuous monitoring allows for real-time updates on changes that may impact an employee's conduct, ensuring a safe and compliant workforce in a digital environment.
As employment background checks continue to evolve in response to remote hiring trends, CredentialCheck remains at the forefront of providing tailored solutions that enable businesses to navigate these changes effectively.
